Polymer Science and Technology

This text describes how plastics, rubber, and fibers are synthesised, processed into useful materials, characterised, and compounded with fillers and other additives to improve performance for specific applications. Their use in a wide variety of technologies including membrane separations, electronics, and energy production and storage is described. A new chapter in the 3rd Edition shows how computer correlations and simulations can be used to predict properties of new plastics and to better understand how existing plastics perform.
