Here is the book the thermoplastics industry has been waiting for -- a comprehensive, practical guide to high temperature resistant thermoplastic polymers. These composites offer the professional clear advantages in plastics design due to superior properties like stiffness, strength, and weldability. This up-to-date book details those advantages in a clear and accessible format that is ideally suited to designers, engineers, and materials scientists. Here are just a few of the many exciting features this book has to offer: lucid, in-depth discussions of the molecular characterization, processing behavior, and long-term properties of advanced thermoplastic composites; examples of how these polymers have great potential for the machine, automotive, aeronautics, marine, and space industries, and for precision tools and instruments; theoretical discussions to supplement the practical descriptions, thereby allowing readers an overall understanding of the wide ranging applications possible for these infinitely useful composites; a fascinating history of the intense research activity that led to the development of advanced thermoplastics, with particular attention paid to pioneering work that originated in the Louvain-La-Neuve, Lausanne, and ICI Wilton laboratories. Advanced Thermoplastics Composites will be of significant interest to anyone engaged in the design and fabrication of polymer products. Researchers in polymer and materials science will find the book an indispensable guide to the structure and deformation of these exciting polymers of the future.
