The Plastics Handbook provides a compact yet comprehensive overview of plastics engineering. It covers material properties, machines, processing, and applications, supporting study, teaching, and the practice-oriented use of new materials and technologies.
Content
The handbook explains fundamental relationships in plastics engineering and summarizes key information in a clear format. Topics include the economic importance of plastics, their classification and composition, the influence of processing on material properties, and options for modifying plastic materials.
Further areas of focus include material properties and testing methods, processing technologies, and plastic materials. The content is supplemented by chapters on additives, fillers, and fibers as well as by an overview of important material parameters.
The 6th edition has been comprehensively updated and expanded. A new chapter on material- and production-oriented design and simulation has been added. Updated and new sections also cover topics such as biodegradation, microplastics, injection molds, extrusion, foaming, compression molding, additive manufacturing, fiber production, rotational molding, joining, circular economy, biopolymers, silicone elastomers, additives, and fillers.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the fundamentals of plastics engineering and key relationships
- Classify material properties, testing methods, and processing methods
- Become familiar with current developments such as additive manufacturing, biopolymers, and the circular economy
- Understand design and simulation approaches for material- and production-oriented applications
Target Audience
Suitable for students, instructors, and engineers in plastics engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, and production. The work can be used both as an introduction to the field and as a reference work for study and practice.
Notes
The topics covered range from basic definitions and abbreviations in plastics engineering to current issues in materials development, processing, and application. The handbook is therefore suitable both for targeted research on individual topics and for accompanying use during study.
