Handbook of Advanced Composite and Polymers Manufacturing Techniques, Processes and Applications

The continued development of new and improved polymers, and their application in new and improved products, have led to almost unlimited product opportunities. In fact, there are probably few who would not rate this area of product growth as one of the most important in industry growth areas. The impact of polymers-plastics, elastomers, and composites - in all of their material forms - has been little short of phenomenal. New polymers and improvements in established polymer groups regularly extend the performance limits of plastics, elastomers, and composites.
