Inventors need this book
Few inventors can develop, manufacture and market their product without any use of plastics. Even if your product does not contain plastics, the packaging often does. This book is essentially an encylopedia of plastics and provides a comprehensive overview of plastics history, theory, characteristics and selection, forming, fabricating, and decorating. It has 135 pages of appendices including a glossary and detailed descriptions of plastics families and characteristics. If you need plastics in your venture, you need this book.
A good overview of plastic materials and the industry
This book provides a good synopsis of plastics materials and the plastics industry. A good reference book for students or those achieving Certified Plastics Technologist designation. Covers chemistry, types and properties of plastics, machining, processing, coating, fabrication, decorating, design and more.
