Items related to Failure of Plastics and Rubbers
Failures due to degradation may result from exposure to the weather or an aggressive operating environment. Alternatively they may be caused by the introduction of an external agent unforeseen by the product designer. This book describes the following mechanisms of polymer degradation, and then illustrates each failure mechanism with a number of case studies:
Thermooxidation
Photooxidation
Degradation due to ionizing radiation
Chemical attack
Environmental stress cracking
Treeing
Electrochemical Degradation
Diodegradation
The book will be essential reading for designers, engineers, product specifiers and forensic engineers. Materials suppliers and processors will also benefit from the pragmatic analysis and advice it contains. It will also be of value to all students of polymer science and technology.
