Synopsis
A textbook with problems and examples, this work addresses those elements of plastics behaviour that allow mechanical engineers to better understand non-traditional material properties. The first section deals with the basic understanding of polymers in the solid and fluid state. It includes discussions on the history of polymers, basic polymer nomenclature, crystalline and amorphous morphology, transport properties, viscosity, chemical nature and mechanical response under load. The second section deals with the interaction of polymers with their environment, including a brief outline of general processing technology, the role and applicability of testing, and concepts in the design of plastics parts.
