Plastics in Medical Devices is an overview of the main types of plastics used in medical device applications. It focuses on applications and properties that are most important in medical device design, such as chemical resistance, sterilization capability, and biocompatibility. The synthesis and production of each polymer or family of polymers are described in detail as well, as these methods have an important effect on critical properties such as sterilization and biocompatibility. The roles of additives, stabilizers, and fillers, as well as the synthesis and production of polymers, are covered in detail and supported by data tables. The extensive list of materials covered in this 3rd Edition include: * Commodity thermoplastics, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyolefins, and polystyrene * High-temperature engineering thermoplastics, such as polysulfones, polyimides, polysulfides, polyketones, liquid crystalline polymers, and fluoropolymers * Other polymers, including styrenics, silicones, thermoplastic elastomers, biopolymers, and thermosets
