Handbook of Engineering and Specialty Thermoplastics, 4 Volume Set

Beschreibung

Plastics, just like any other material, have experienced a rapid development over the last decade and it is vital for chemical engineers to have a single source documenting all these developments. Arranged according to the chemical constitution of polymers, this four-volume set reviews the developments that have taken place in the last decade, focusing on common types of polymers belonging to the class of water soluble polymers. It covers a wide range of applications including polyolefins, styrenics, water soluble polymers, polyether, polyesters, and nylon.
