Plastics Handbook, BB

Klappentext

The Plastics Handbook provides everything important there is to know about plastics, comprehensively compiled in a compact and well-organized format. From material properties to machines, processing, and applications, the reader will find detailed information that allows the successful implementation of new materials and technologies.

This concise, competent, modern reference not only explains the basic facts and interrelationships, but also serves as a practical guide for engineers to help them succeed in today's challenging, global industrial world.

The 6th edition is extensively updated and expanded, with a new chapter on material- and production-oriented design and simulation. Other new and updated sections cover biodegradation, microplastics, injection molds, extrusion, foaming, compression molding, additive manufacturing, fiber production, rotational molding, joining, circular economy, biopolymers, silicone elastomers, additives, and fillers, among other topics.
