This ideal introductory text covers the basics of polymer chemistry and engineering, as well as structure-property relationships in plastics, in a concise manner. Technically authoritative and up-to-date, the volume offers a survey of the basic chemistry of monomers and their conversion to the various polymers, the essentials of structure and performance, rheology of polymers as liquids and solids, and mechanical properties. Problem sets enhance the book's suitability for advanced undergraduates in chemical engineering or materials science.

Editorial Reviews
Review
`A valuable addition to undergraduate engineering education.' Prof. Ronald Salovey, USC Los Angeles `The discussion of the different forms of polyolefins, and the relationship of their mechanical properties to their utility patterns is quite skillful...Thermoplastic processing and its rheological foundations are well handled...[I] recommend Ram's book for serious consideration as a textbook in polymer engineering.' Polymer News `The author does an excellent job on describing polymers and plastics. ... This book is recommended for those who instruct polymer and composite courses at the undergraduate level.' SAMPE Journal, October 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars
very great book, clear writing,

This review is from: Fundamentals of Polymer Engineering, Revised and Expanded (Plastics Engineering) (Hardcover)
I am the student of one of the author. The writing style of this book just like the teaching style of my advisor, very clear and precise. The home work at the end of each chapter helps students understand the fundmentals of polymer engineering better. I am very lucky to be taught by one of the authors.
