5.0 out of 5 stars Inventors need this book, May 4, 2003

By	Inventors' Alliance Member (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Industrial Plastics: Theory and Application (Paperback)

Few inventors can develop, manufacture and market their product without any use of plastics. Even if your product does not contain plastics, the packaging often does. This book is essentially an encylopedia of plastics and provides a comprehensive overview of plastics history, theory, characteristics and selection, forming, fabricating, and decorating. It has 135 pages of appendices including a glossary and detailed descriptions of plastics families and characteristics. If you need plastics in your venture, you need this book.
