This text provides an inroduction to the technologies involved in the synthesis of the main engineering high polymers in such materials as plastics, fibres, rubbers, foams, adhesives and coatings. Besides the basic processes, it includes information on physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics important with respect to obtaining the right end products. It also focuses on their main applications in different engineering areas and gives data on production and consumption. Each technological flowchart is presented in a concise way to provide the reader with information on the basic necessary operations. Those involved with the design, production, processing or marketing of polymers should find this a useful reference, while graduate students should find it a useful introduction to the subject.
Industry Reviews
Whereas almost textbooks of polymer chemistry describe the techniques for the laboratory synthesis of polymers, this volume is devoted to the industrial methods, and herein resides its value. It is detailed and up-to-date... - Aslib Book Guide; ...the book is crisp and very readable. The information is presented with a logical structure and conveys effectively the state-of-the-art of a vast and fast developing field. I would chose this book for my foundations bookshelf - Chemistry and Industry.; ...recommended as a useful and reasonably comprehensive primer on polymer materials - Polymer International.; The book is a welcome overview of the subject. - RAPRA
