Today engineers, designers, buyers and all those who have to work with plastics face a dilemma. There has been a proliferation of test methods by which plastic properties are measured. The property data measured by these test methods are not identical and sometimes have large differences. How are engineers, designers, buyers going to decide the type and resin grade and their property data? Which are the valid test methods? The right plastic property data are the difference between success and failure of a design, thus making the property selection process critical. For the first time this book provides a simple and efficient approach to a highly complex and time consuming task. There are over 26,000 different grades of polymers and millions of parts and applications, further adding to the difficulty of the selection process. Selection of Polymeric Materials steers engineers and designers onto the right path to selecting the appropriate values for each plastic property. A large amount of property information has been provided to teach and assist the plastic part designer and others in selecting the right resin and properties for an application. Various standards including ASTM, ISO, UL, and British Specifications have been discussed to help the readers in making sound decisions. • A simple and efficient approach to a highly complex and time consuming task. • Allows engineers to select from various standards including ASTM, ISO, UL, and British Specification. • Presents information on properties such as tensile strength, melt temperature, continuous service temperature, moisture exposure, specific gravity and flammability ratings. • Tried and true values narrow myriad choices down quickly for readers.

<p>This indispensable, all-inclusive reference guide to plastic part design was compiled with the product designer in mind, who is looking for more detailed information on plastic resins, the rules and geometries underlying their use in product design, and the advantages and limitation of their use in industrial applications. The designer will also find valuable advice on resin and tool selection and processing parameters that allow fast and successful product development and manufacture. Thousands of hours of research and cross referencing have gone into the completion of this work. In addition, the hands-on knowledge of a plastics expert with more than 35 years experience is incorporated.</p>

<p>This book provides a comprehensive and very practical overview of the various plastic materials used in today's industrial applications. Its focus is on material properties and areas of application. All industrially significant plastic families and grades are introduced following the same approach: their chemical constitution, manufacturing, properties, processing, and end use applications. The consistent presentation allows easy comparison of different materials for the reader and will help with the initial identification of suitable plastic materials for a given end-use. Ample full-color illustrations are testimony to the fact that plastic materials are the ultimate tribute to man's creativity and inventiveness.</p>
