High performance engineering plastics are used in a vast range of applications and environments. They are becoming increasingly important because of trends towards more reliable and higher performance machines and devices. This book gives readers a working knowledge and understanding of high performance engineering plastics. It starts with a simple, practical overview of key properties and principles. In each of the chapters there are sections on production chemistry, product forms, properties, processing and applications. There is a strong bias towards materials and concepts which are used in practice. The materials covered include high performance Polyethersulfones, Polyetherimides, Polyphthalamides, Polyphenylene Sulfide, Polyaryletherketones, Polyamideimides, Polyimides, Polybenzimidazole, Liquid Crystalline Polyesters and Perfluoropolymers. The reader will develop the ability to understand why materials are chosen for certain applications, why those materials have particular properties and how those properties can be modified. This will facilitate conversations with both materials suppliers and end users. It will help to identify the best and most cost effective solutions.
This report reviews and compares the properties of the four categories of materials which fall within the subject area: polyarylethers and thioethers; polyimides and polybenzimidazole; fluoropolymers; and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers. The report is completed by an indexed section containing more than 400 references and abstracts selected from the Rapra Polymer Library database.
Includes almost all essential areas necessary to understand this group of materials in detail, and how to use them for different applications. Includes special types of composites used as engineering materials, the behavior of composite materials under different types of loading conditions, composites with special property profiles, and design aspects of composites materials.
This review discusses the types of engineering adhesives in use, properties, advantages and disadvantages, and applications. It is very clearly written, well referenced and provides an excellent overview of a rapidly developing field. The author is an expert with many years of experience in adhesive research and development. The review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading on this subject.
Covers the period from 1790 to 1905 in The Times of London.
This study is the first full-length study of the Gothic chapbook It contains a list of 400 Gothic chapbooks. The list provides bibliographical information as well as the location of the text. It provides biographical information on the publishers and booksellers involved in the development, production and dissemination of the Gothic chapbook.
The new edition of this bestselling reference provides fully updated and detailed descriptions of plastics joining processes, plus an extensive compilation of data on joining specific materials. The volume is divided into two main parts: processes and materials. The processing section has 18 chapters, each explaining a different joining technique. The materials section has joining information for 25 generic polymer families. Both sections contain data organized according to the joining methods used for that material. - A significant and extensive update from experts at The Welding Institute - A systematic approach to discussing each joining method including: process, advantages and disadvantages, applications, materials, equipment, joint design, and welding parameters - Includes international suppliers' directory and glossary of key joining terms - Includes new techniques such as flash free welding and friction stir welding - Covers thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and rubbers.
