Description
Plastics possess properties that have revolutionized the manufacture of products in the 20th century and beyond. It remains crucial to understand their behaviour throughout their life cycle, from manufacture to use and eventually to reclamation and disposal. The “Handbook of Plastics Analysis” highlights the most prominent tools in physical and chemical analysis techniques and applications, providing guidelines on analysis and interpretation of results. This book is a practical reference for performing measurements, solving problems, and investigating behavioural phenomena. The editors advocate a phenomenological approach, relying on case studies and illustrations to represent possible outcomes of each technique but presenting the basic governing equations where necessary.
