Introduces civil engineers to the processing, manufacture, characteristics, and structural applications of polymer resins and the geosynthetic products made from them. Among the resins discussed are polyethylene manufactured by slurry polymerization, isotactic and flexible polypropylene, specialty resins such as CSPE and KEE, polyvinyl chloride, and virgin and recycled polyester. Most of the 26 papers describe the manufacture of products such as extruded and textured membranes, extruded pipes and tubes, spunbound and woven ...
