Masterful

A very well written text book. The complete story on plastics and plastics processing, clearly stated. He includes historical and application/business viewpoints, in addition to chemical and manufacturing. Professor Strong gets an A+! "I want to say one word to you. Just one word....Are you listening? ..."

For any one, even without a Major in science

The book is great, it shuold be called plastics for dummies. It explain everything in a simple matter and focuses on the aplication of the concepts. Great for anyone with engineering or technical knowledge or who needs to learn the who's or why's of plastics.

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 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 !!
