Chemical Resistance of Commodity Thermoplastics provides a comprehensive, cross-referenced compilation of chemical resistance data that explains the effect of thousands of reagents, the environment and other exposure media on the properties and characteristics of commodity thermoplastics – plastics which are generally used in higher performance applications. A huge range of exposure media are included, from aircraft fuel to alcohol, corn syrup to hydrochloric acid, and salt to silver acetate. This information has been substantially updated, curated, and organized by the engineers at M-Base Engineering + Software, a leading supplier of material databases, material information systems, product information systems, and material related simulation software. This book is a must-have reference for engineers and scientists designing and working with plastics and elastomers in environments where they come into contact with corrosive or reactive substances, from food, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices, to the automotive, aerospace, and semiconductor industries. - Explains the effect of thousands of reagents, the environment and other exposure media on the properties and characteristics of commodity thermoplastics - Organized by the engineers at M-Base Engineering + Software, a leading supplier of material databases, material information systems, product information systems, and material related simulation software - A must-have reference for engineers and scientists designing and working with plastics and elastomers in environments where they come into contact with corrosive or reactive substances

While the two-volume work Chemical Resistance of Thermoplastics covers chemical resistance of high-volume commercial (commodity) thermoplastics, this volume focuses on high performance 'engineering' or 'specialty' thermoplastics. These thermoplastics are usually consumed in smaller volumes, but have desirable characteristics for demanding and high-value applications. This book provides extensive data on chemical resistance tests, and material chemical resistance properties for important specialty thermoplastics including polyarylenes, polymimides and fluoropolymers, polymer alloys and specialty polyethylenes. The chemical resistance data provided enables the reader to make a better material selection decision, avoiding the major economic and business impacts of material failure, and in some cases eliminating the need for screening tests. The data gives detailed information on the parameters of exposure of plastics and their different grades to chemicals and environmental conditions, i.e. chemical compound or solvent, concentration, temperature, the length of time a plastic can withstand such attacks (with, for example, weight change as a key parameter) etc. – answering key questions often arising in the process of product development. This volume comes in an easy-to-use print format – including a list of exposure media enabling cross-referencing to the main material data tables – as well as an online database with an extended data set, and advanced search and navigation features. - The single most comprehensive data source covering the chemical resistance properties of thermoplastics - A must-have reference for those designing and working in sectors where thermoplastics come into contact with corrosive or reactive substances - This new edition includes new chapters that provide the underpinning knowledge needed to fully understand and apply the information in the data sections - In the print edition of this book, the data covered in the two volumes are also provided on a CD-ROM (compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems) offering extended navigation and search features

Engineering Materials 2 covers an introduction to the properties and structures of engineering materials. The book discusses the types of factors determining the choice of a material; the main properties required of engineering materials; the main methods used for tensile testing, impact testing, bend tests, and hardness measurements and the interpretation of measurements; and the interpretation of thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity data. The text also describes the basic structure of materials; the effect of hot and cold work on a metal structure; and the effect of grain size and shape on the mechanical properties of metals. The basic structural features of thermoplastic, thermosetting, and elastomer materials, relating the mechanical and thermal properties to the structures, and the properties of common plastics, relating the properties to their structures, are also described. The book tackles the main categories of polymer forming and their products; the mechanical properties of composites and the properties of the matrix and fiber; and the environmental stability of materials. Engineering students and technicians will find the book invaluable.

Insufficient knowledge, time limitations, and budget constraints often result in poor material selection and implementation, which can lead to uncertain performance and premature failure of mechanical and electro-mechanical products. Selection of Engineering Materials and Adhesives is a professional guide to choosing the most appropriate materials and adhesives for product development applications from the onset. This text emphasizes material properties and classifications, fabrication and processing considerations, performance objectives, and selection based on specific application requirements, such as frequency of use (duty cycle) and operating environment. Each chapter focuses on a particular material family, covering ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steels, cast-iron, aluminum, and titanium, as well as plastics such as PVC, acrylics, and nylons. Unique to this book on material selection, the final chapter discusses critical aspects of adhesives, including cure methods and joint configurations. Selection of Engineering Materials and Adhesives presents materials that are most often used for selection processes and applications in product development. This book is an ideal text for senior level undergraduate or graduate courses in mechanical engineering and materials science as well as recent graduates or managers who are tasked with the daunting job of selecting a material for a new application or justifying a long-used material in a specific application. It embodies the author's own experience and lectures on this subject, taught at UCLA Extension, and provides students as well as practicing engineers the tools to systematically select the most appropriate materials and adhesives for their design work.

This text, now in its second edition, continues to provide a balanced practical treatment of polymers, ceramics, and composites, covering all their physical properties as well as applications in industry. The text puts emphasis on developing an understanding of properties, characteristics and specifications of non-metallic engineering materials and focusing on the techniques for controlling their properties during processing. It provides students with the knowledge they need to make optimal selection and use of these materials in a variety of manufacturing applications. The book focuses on structure-properties correlation of materials as it forms the basis for predicting their behaviour during processing and service conditions. The text also discusses the recently developed advanced materials. Each chapter includes the questions of fundamental importance and industrial significance, along with their answers. This book is especially designed for Metallurgical and Materials Science students for a course in non-metallic engineering materials. Besides it should prove useful for the students of other engineering disciplines where materials science/materials engineering is offered as a compulsory course. NEW TO THIS EDITION : Addition of a new chapter on Ceramics—A Material for Biomedical Applications (Chapter 5) Inclusion of a number of questions and their answers in Chapters 2, 3 and 4, modifications of existing figures and the inclusion of new ones. Incorporation of plenty of numerical problem related to polymers, ceramics and composites.
