Description
This book is an update to the first edition compiled and published in 1990 by William Woishnis. A lot has changed in the field since 1990
and a lot has not changed. There are new plastic materials. There has been a huge turnover in ownership of plastics producing companies.
There has been a lot of consolidation, which of course means discontinued products. Thus, this update is much more extensive than the
usual "next edition."
It has been reorganized from a chemistry point of view. Plastics of similar polymer types are grouped into nine
chapters. Each of these chapters includes an introduction with a brief explanation of the chemistry of the polymers used in the plastics.
An extensive first chapter has been added as an introduction that summarizes the chemistry of making polymers, the formulation of plastics,
testing and test methods, and plastic selection.
Most plastic products and parts are expected to be used in environments other than
room temperature and standard humidity conditions. Chapters 2-10 are a databank that serves as an evaluation of plastics as they are
exposed to varying operating conditions at different temperatures, humidity, and other factors. Over 900 graphs for more than 45 generic
families of plastics are contained in these chapters.
Chapter 11 contains extensive mechanical and electrical data in tabular form.
The tables contain data on several thousand plastics. Similarly, Chapter 12 contains thermal data on several thousand plastics.
Data
from the first edition have only been removed if those products were discontinued, and many products were. Product names and manufacturers
have been updated.
Audience
Materials engineers, polymer chemists, plastics suppliers, plastics raw materials suppliers, and plastics marketing and sales personnel.
