Plastics Technology Handbook

This handbook continues to provide up-to-date coverage on the properties, processing methods, and applications of polymers. While retaining the easy-to-follow structure of the previous editions, this fourth edition covers advances in polymer-based nanomedicines, drug delivery, oxo-biodegradable polymers, polymer synthesis and applications, and the use of polymers in the automotive and aerospace industries, agriculture, electronics and electrical technology, and biomedical applications. It also includes cutting edge information on plastic foams and industrial polymers, nanoblends, and state-of-the-art methods for plastics recycling.
