Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Modern fluoropolymers can be easily processed and formed. This ease has provided wider scope for new, easily accessible work consolidating previous fragmentary publications and patent literature. This book provides an overview of a comprehensive range of commercial fluoropolymers with an emphasis on structure/property behaviour and their diverse fields of application.

From the Back Cover

The last 25 years have seen the introduction of numerous new fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers and these developments have widened considerably the scope and applications of fluorine-containing polymers. Modern Fluoropolymers provides an overview of a comprehensive range of commercial fluoropolymers with an emphasis on structure/property behaviour and their diverse fields of application Topics covered include: crystalline and amorphous fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, coatings, sealants, linings, electrical properties, surface properties, effects of radiation, chemical resistance and failure modes of fluoropolymers. With chapters written by experts from industry and academia from North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and Russia, the book is truly international in scope and will be welcomed by researchers, processors and users of all types of fluoropolymers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Modern Fluoropolymers, July 27, 2003

By 

Jiri G Drobny (Merrimack, New Hampshire, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Fluoropolymers: High Performance Polymers for Diverse Applications (Wiley Series in Polymer Science) (Hardcover)

This book is a comprehensive monograph on fluoropolymers, which are one of the fastest growing segment of polymeric materials. In general, it is well written and it covers the field very well. The editor himself and the authors he selected are known experts in their respective fields. It definitely is the first book on the subject dealing with practically all commercial and developmental fluoropolymers. It has the greatest value for someone already familiar with the science and technology of polymers in general and of fluoropolymers in particular.

This review is from: Modern Fluoropolymers: High Performance Polymers for Diverse Applications (Wiley Series in Polymer Science) (Hardcover)

This book is a great resource if you want to understand the mathematics and physics of polymers. I zeroed in on Teflon FEPs applications and found it to be the best source of info that exists anywhere. I wish there was more information on extrusion and rhealogy methods for polymers covered. Overall I am glad I bought the book, and it is a great addition to my engineering library.
