Part of a series of core databooks within the William Andrew ¿Plastics Design Library¿, Fatigue and Tribological Properties of Plastics and Elastomers provides a comprehensive collection of graphical multipoint data and tabular data covering fatigue and tribology. The concept of fatigue is very st[...]
Most plastic products and parts are expected to perform in environments other than at room temperature and standard humidity conditions. The second edition of this much used reference book is an exhaustive compilation of multipoint performance data that serves as an evaluation of plastics as they ar[...]
Featuring an introductory chapter that summarizes the chemistry of making polymers, formulation of plastics, creep-testing methods, measurements and plastic selection, this book covers more than 8 core chapters, which serve as databank for evaluating the creep of plastics. It contains over 600 graph[...]
Permeability properties are essential data for the selection of materials and design of products across a broad range of market sectors from food packaging to Automotive applications to Medical Devices. This book brings together permeability data in a form that enables quick like-for-like comparison[...]
Focusing on the engineering properties of commercial polymeric films, this title details many physical, mechanical, optical, electrical, and permeation properties within the context of specific test parameters. It includes essential data and practical guidance for engineers and scientists working wi[...]
Brings together a range of essential data on the effects of weather and UV light exposure on plastics and elastomers, enabling engineers to make optimal material choices and design decisions. The title offers descriptions of the effect of weathering on the common polymer classes such as polyolefins,[...]
