Description

Reliable and meaningful methods of polymer testing are necessary to support the plastics industry, being essential for understanding material and part properties, and evaluating materials for a part design, with important implications for product safety as well as operating conditions and lifetime.

Polymer Testing, Third Edition covers all the most important testing methods, from long-established basic techniques to recent developments, including the latest polymer testing standards. Included in the third edition is an all-new chapter on the testing of polymer films, as well as many small updates and corrections throughout the book.

This is intended as a textbook for university and college students and teachers for bachelor, diploma, or master courses of material science, material technology, plastic technology, mechanical engineering, process engineering, or chemical engineering. It is also suitable for practitioners, engineers, testing engineers, and quality-assurance staff in the plastics industry.

Key features

  • Presents reliable testing methods for an increased understanding of properties, materials selection, and part design
  • Offers detailed information on testing of mechanical and physical properties, fracture toughness, stress cracking, and more
  • Covers the latest developments in the area, including a new chapter on testing of polymer films

Readership

Advanced students and academic researchers across plastics engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, process engineering, or chemical engineering. Industrial practitioners, engineers, testing engineers, and quality-assurance staff in the plastics industry.
