This book presents a precise, yet non-mathematical introduction to plastics, their raw materials, syntheses, properties, and applications.
The manufacture and properties of plastics are discussed as a function of the molecular and supermolecular properties of polymers. Polymer composites and waste disposal are also treated.
Clear and comprehensive this volume is not only an informative guide for practitioners in the field of plastics but also an indispensable aid for plastics engineers, polymer scientists, chemists, physicists and materials scientists.

From the Back Cover:

This second edition of An Introduction to Plastics is the answer to manifold requests for an updated version by the readership. Since publication of the first edition in 1993, the field of plastics has seen tremendous development. Their manufacture and properties are discussed and correlated to the molecular and supermolecular properties of polymers. The contents have been thoroughly revised, restructured and enlarged. Several topics such as polymer composites and mixtures, morphology, flow properties and processing have been given more space, and chapters on electrical conductivity and non-linear optical properties have been newly added.

Reviews of the first edition:

"This book presents a precise, yet non-mathematical introduction to plastics, their raw materials, syntheses, properties and applications." (B.Sillion, Revue de l'Institut Francais du P�trole)

"The volume is excellently written, with a simple, straightforward and comprehensive index. It provides an overview of all plastics, including raw materials: manufacture, structure, processing, properties and, of course, applications." (D.W. Taylor and J.F. Kennedy, Polymer International)

This book has all the earmarks of becoming a guide to or even a reference book for polymers in structural applications." (Willi Kreuder, Acta Polymerica)
