Plastics Engineering
This book presents in a single volume the basic esentials of the properties and processing behaviour of plastics and composites. The aim is to give engineers and technologists a sound understanding of basic principles without the introduction of unduly complex levels of mathematics of chemistry and thereby set plastics in their proper contect as engineering materials.
This texbook pioneered the approach whereby both properties and processing of reinforced and unreinforced plastics are covered in a single volume. It assumes no prior knowledge of plastics, and emphasises the practical aspects of the subject. In this 3rd edition over half the book has been re-written and the remainder has been updated and re-organised. Early chapters give an introduction to the types of plastics which are currently available and describe how a designer goes about the selection of a plastic for a particular application. Later chaptes lead the reader into more advanced aspects of mechanisal design and analysis of polymer melt flow. All techniques developed are illustrated by numerous worked examples, and problem are given at the end of each chapter - the solutions to which form one of the appendices.
Contents :
General properties of plastics, Mechanical behaviour of plastics, Mechanical behavior of composites, Processing of plastics, Analysis of polymer melt flow, Appendices (including structure of plastics and Solutions to set question).
