This revised and expanded guide combines fundamental theory, systematic experimentation, disciplined research, and logical procedures to simplify the thermoplastic selection process as well as reduce production cost and time.
Maintaining the practical and sophisticated approach that sent the first edition into multiple printings, Selecting Thermoplastics for Engineering Applications, Second Edition features high-volume thermoplastics and newer, modified resins… quick and convenient-to-use tables ranking major resins by key characteristics in descending order of value… the physical, mechanical, and technical aspects of thermoplastics involved in material selection… injection molding fundamentals… computerized approaches to selecting resins, including SELECTHER, the expert system demonstration computer program that chooses and prioritizes potential resins for any envisaged engineering application… rheology property data… recycling in resin selection… an expanded reference list… and more.… (más)
