Now plastics have become important for several reasons. First, their cost-effective use has been demonstrated in demanding automotive structural applications. An important example is the all-plastic bumper used in the 1984 Ford Escort, which was capable of withstanding an 8 kmph (5 mph) barrier impact"--Provided by publisher.Polymer engineeringPolymer engineering.668.9Stokes Vijay Kumar1939-1638504MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830229403321Introduction to plastics engineering3980982UNINA
