Utilizes an encyclopedic approach to cover the developments in
polyolefins and styrenics during the last decade
This book focuses on common types of polymers belonging to the class of
polyolefins and styrenics. The text is arranged according to the
chemical constitution of polymers and reviews the developments that have
taken place in the last decade. A brief introduction to the polymer type
is given and previous monographs and reviews dealing with the topic are
listed for quick reference. The text continues with monomers,
polymerization, fabrication techniques, properties, application, as well
as safety issues.
Providing a rather encyclopedic approach to polyolefins and styrenics,
The Handbook of Engineering and Specialty Thermoplastics
-
Presents a listing of suppliers and commercial grades
-
Reviews current patent literature, essential for the engineer
developing new products
-
Contains as extensive tradenames index with information that is fairly
unique
-
Concludes with an index of acronyms
The Handbook of Engineering and Specialty Thermoplastics: Polyolefins
and Styrenics provides a comprehensive reference for chemical engineers
and offers advanced students with a textbook for use in courses on
chemically biased plastics technology and polymer science.
