Sommario/riassunto

Permeability properties are essential data for the selection of materials and design of products across a broad range of market sectors from food packaging to Automotive applications to Medical Devices. This unique handbook brings together a wealth of permeability data in a form that enables quick like-for-like comparisons between materials.   The data is supported by a full explanation of its interpretation, and an introduction to the engineering aspects of permeability in polymers.   The third edition includes expanded explanatory text which makes the book accessible to novices
