This extensively revised second edition isÿthe only data handbook available on the engineering properties of commercial polymeric films details many physical, mechanical, optical, electrical, and permeation properties within the context of specific test parameters, providing a ready reference for comparing materials in the same family as well as materials in different families.ÿData are presented on the characteristics of 47 major plastic and elastomer packaging materials. New to this edition, the resin chapters each contain textual summary information including category, general description, processing methods, applications, and other facts as appropriate, such as reliability, weatherability, and regulatory approval considerations for use in food and medical packaging. Extensive references are provided.

Essential data and practical guidance for engineers and scientists working with

polymer films.

? 3rd edition expanded by nearly 50% to include new data sections and additional

explanatory chapters to help readers utilize the data and work successfully with

plastic films.

? Written for engineers working across the key market sectors for polymer film

applications: semiconductor, chemicals, food, beverage and pharmaceutical

packaging, energy, medical devices, etc.
