Handbook of Polymers

Handbook of Polymers, Fourth Edition covers all primary polymeric materials used across the plastics industry, as well as specialty polymers in electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, aerospace, and biopolymers. This edition consolidates the most current data available from 2011-2027, sourced from scientific literature, patents, conference papers, and manufacturer information. The book includes data on all polymeric materials used by the plastics industry and branches of the chemical industry, as well as specialty polymers in the electronics, pharmaceutical, medical and space fields. The entire scope of the data is divided into sections to make data comparison and search easy, including synthesis, physical, mechanical, and rheological properties, chemical resistance, toxicity, environmental impact, and more.

• Provides key data on all primary polymeric materials used in a wide range of industries and applications
• Presents easy-to-access data divided into sections, making comparisons and search simple and intuitive
• Includes data on general properties, history, synthesis, structure, physical properties, mechanical properties, chemical resistance, flammability, weather stability, toxicity, and more
