Starting from microstructure and physical properties, the book covers the mechanical, chemical and electrical properties of plastic materials, and also deals in detail with wider plastics issues that today's engineers and materials scientists need such as manufacturing processes and the design of plastic products. The new edition has been updated to reflect changes in polymer technology and the plastics industry, and the increased knowledge of the m 410 0$aMetallurgy and materials science. 606 $aPlastics$xMicroscopy 606 $aPlastics$xMechanical properties 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPlastics$xMicroscopy. 615 0$aPlastics$xMechanical properties. 676 $a668.4 700 $aMills$b Nigel$0627435 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457341803321 996 $aPlastics$91212918 997 $aUNINA
