Customer Reviews

Great Refrence, Easy to Navigate and Read

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.

Excellent Resource for Many Reasons

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.

excellent book

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 !!
