Opis

This work provides comprehensive coverage of the basic theories and hands-on techniques of polymer toughening, demonstrating the similarities in methods of measurement and toughness enhancement found in various classes of polymeric materials, including foams, films, adhesives and moulding grade polymers. It provides a detailed overview, from histor

Recenzje

". . .a good overview of the technology (presented from an industrial research viewpoint) for specific polymer systems (styrenics and epoxies in particular). a worthwhile review. . . .recommended for polymer science libraries in both industrial and academic institutions. "
