Utilizes an encyclopedic approach to cover the developments inpolyolefins and styrenics during the last decade
This book focuses on common types of polymers belonging to theclass of polyolefins and styrenics. The text is arranged accordingto the chemical constitution of polymers and reviews thedevelopments that have taken place in the last decade. A briefintroduction to the polymer type is given and previous monographsand reviews dealing with the topic are listed for quick reference.The text continues with monomers, polymerization, fabricationtechniques, properties, application, as well as safety issues.
Providing a rather encyclopedic approach to polyolefins andstyrenics, The Handbook of Engineering and SpecialtyThermoplastics:
* Presents a listing of suppliers and commercial grades
* Reviews current patent literature, essential for the engineerdeveloping new products
* Contains as extensive tradenames index with information that isfairly unique
* Concludes with an index of acronyms
The Handbook of Engineering and Specialty Thermoplastics:Polyolefins and Styrenics provides a comprehensive referencefor chemical engineers and offers advanced students with a textbookfor use in courses on chemically biased plastics technology andpolymer science.
