Synopses & Reviews
This extensively revised and updated second edition of the only data handbook available on the engineering properties of commercial polymeric films details many physical, mechanical, optical, electrical, and permeation properties within the context of specific test parameters, providing a ready reference for comparing materials in the same family as well as materials in different families.
Data are presented on the characteristics of 47 major plastic and elastomer packaging materials. New to this edition, the resin chapters each contain textual summary information including category, general description, processing methods, applications, and other facts as appropriate, such as reliability, weatherability, and regulatory approval considerations for use in food and medical packaging. Extensive references are provided. The resin chapter material supplier trade name product data are presented in graphical and tabular format, with results normalized to SI units, retaining the familiar format of the 1st edition and allowing easy comparison between materials and test conditions.
Essential data and practical guidance for engineers and scientists working with
polymer films.
? 3rd edition expanded by nearly 50% to include new data sections and additional
explanatory chapters to help readers utilize the data and work successfully with
plastic films.
? Written for engineers working across the key market sectors for polymer film
applications: semiconductor, chemicals, food, beverage and pharmaceutical
packaging, energy, medical devices, etc.
