Product Description Polymer Processing: Principles and Design presents the background required to design processes for thermoplastics. Often engineers are hired by the polymer industry to develop and design processes for thermoplastics, to design polymer processing machinery, to develop processes for new polymers, and to optimize existing processes. However, at best, they receive only a little training in polymer science and no training in the design of polymer processes. This book emphasizes the fundamental concepts that allow the student and the practicing engineer to carry out practical design decisions. While most books leave the student with equations only, Polymer Processing: Principles and Design provides the numerical methods required to solve the equations using the personal computer and easy-to-use IMSL numerical subroutines, and ensures a solid foundation in the principles underlying the design of polymer processing techniques. | ||

Excellent! This book is great for a student or a practicing engineer. It starts with the fundamentals of polymer science and ends with more specific processing problems. There are design problems at the end of each chapter for which solutions are not provided. This is great for a college textbook, but is not very useful for the practicing engineer. Overall, this book is well worth it. | ||
