Louise Ferrante Product Design and Testing of Polymeric Materials

Annotation

Product Design and Testing of Polymeric Materials integrates polymer science principles with detailed experimental programs-helping engineers create optimal products. Thoroughly investigating both physical and processing properties of polymeric substances, this valuable guide presents the philosophy of product development management ... includes test methods for base property and end-use performance ... pairs viscometric and small-scale testing with molecular properties for processing advantages ... examines quality control from the laboratory to the marketplace ... applies the mechanics of experimental design to product optimization problems ... covers the mathematics needed for proper regression of experimental data ... and much more. Product Design and Testing of Polymeric Materials is a complete reference- defining numerous plastics and engineering terms and supplying important data on elastomers and plastics-and is an essential resource for polymer, plastics, and chemical engineers and scientists, materials scientists, and graduate-level students in these disciplines.
