Supported by extensive analytical evidence, this book details what rubber friction is and why it behaves the way it does. With numerous figures and quantitative examples, it illustrates how to analyze rubber friction in an accurate, predictive manner. The author reveals that the laws of metallic fri..
This second edition of a bestseller is a practical guide to the production of castable polyurethane articles. The book shows the progression from raw materials to prepolymer production, including the chemistry and functionality of the processes. It provides a comprehensive look at various problem-so..
This volume fills a gap in the science of tribology, presenting fundamental information on the nature of physical and chemical processes governing and accompanying tribodeformation and tribodisintegration of polymers..
"Volume 1 of this outstanding resource concentrates on safety and environmental concerns in the manufacture and use of resins, and thoroughly discusses theories of degradation, plasticization, solvation, and stabilization. "..
Plastics and rubber materials, or polymers, are increasingly the first choice of engineers where reliable cost-effective performance and safety are essential. This is a substantially revised and enlarged edition of a text on engineering with polymers which was first published in 1983...
A mini-encyclopedia of basic information on the fire properties of plastics, the Flammability Handbook for Plastics has been widely used and recognized as a basic guide and reference to the fire behavior and fire retardance of plastics. This new updated edition reflects the changing plastics market ..
This new book explores the consideration of relationships that connect the structural and basic mechanical properties of polymeric mediums within the frameworks of fractal analysis with cluster model representations attraction. Incidentally, the choice of any structural model of medium or their comb..
This book focuses on polysulfones and their derivatives, which are used as functional materials due to their structural and physical characteristics. The text presents the bioapplications of polysulfones in two categories: blood-contacting devices and cell- or tissue-contacting devices. It analyzes ..
