Product Description
This book is designed to introduce plastics to a wide range of non-chemists who need to either gain, improve, or refresh their knowledge of plastic materials and manufacturing. It fully discusses both materials and manufacturing processes in a carefully-constructed and logical presentation. While providing a fundamental overview of a broad spectrum of topics, this book’s high level of detail makes it valuable as a professional reference manual. Complete examination of materials, processes and performance of plastics includes many recent developments–at the molecular, micro and macro levels–such as conductive polymers, nano technology, biodegradable polymers, bio-based raw materials, twin-sheet thermoforming, and health considerations of plasticizers. Appropriate as a reference manual by manufacturing engineers, chemical engineers, plastics engineers, mechanical engineers, industrial engineers, or any other engineer working in a plastics-oriented company.

 Great Refrence, Easy to Navigate and Read July 17, 2008
I used this book for my college course on plastics and still use it as a reference. Easy to read with good explanations of the basics of plastics through processing. The organization of the book makes it convenient to use as a reference.
 Good for processing April 4, 2003

This book is written a very understandable and readable style. It seems to be very good and thorough in the processing areas. There are a number of errors in the first few chapters on structure, so if you use this book you should supplement it with something else.
 Excellent Resource for Many Reasons February 25, 2002
From my particular perspective, Brent Strong's text on plastics is valuable because it is one of the very few places one can turn for a substantial discussion of high-energy radiation processing of plastics by means such as e-beams, microwaves, UV light, and plasmas. E-beam processing of plastics to impart commercially valuable improvements in their physical properties is especially well covered.

I have used this book as a reference and for teaching a Plastics Course in Mechanical Engineering. It is very easy to read, it does not get into too much confusing details about the chemistry - it explains the chemical fundamentals very easily. It does a great job of relating plastic structures with actual properties such as permeability, strength and conductivity. All my students consider a great book. It is one of the best written books I have encountered during my academic career. Worth its weight in gold !!
