Long available as a standard reference in Germany, this valuable guide for engineers is now in a new English-language translation. It provides, in one convenient source, a comprehensive overview of the properties and applications of the huge range of plastics that are of current technical and commercial interest. The book fills a gap in the literature by providing easily accessible information for design engineers, plastics consultants, chemists, physicists, production engineers, students, and teachers--all those who need a reliable source of descriptions and data to assist them in identifying suitable materials. All polymers of current interest are accounted for, including liquid crystalline polymers, electrically conductive polymers, recently developed polyamides, and fluorpolymers, with up-to-date trade names given for each group. The information is presented concisely in the form of texts, tables and graphs. Design engineers will appreciate the large number of data presented as isochronous stress/strain curves. This is truly a unique reference that will benefit the wide number of professionals who depend on specific and detailed data concerning properties, conversion conditions, applications, and health effects

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great reference for a mechanical design engineer,
This review is from: Plastics for Engineers: Materials, Properties, Applications (Hardcover)
Most engineering educations focus on examples and analysis involving metals. Plastics are ever increasing in there use in product designs. Often however, little mechanical data is available beyond the traditional tensile testing regiments.Plastics are more sensitive to creep and fatigue failure mode than are metals. Along with traditional material properties tables, this book also presents data on creep and fatigue for many common plastics as well. Other books on plastics are generally presented from the perspective of chemistry. This reference also has a nice focus on mechanical properties useful to the designer. It is the best reference in my library to date on the subject.
