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

Designing Successful Products with Plastics: Fundamentals of Plastic Part Design 2e provides expert insight into design considerations required to bring a concept product or part through design and ready-for-production. Rather than focusing on design rules and engineering equations used during product development, the emphasis of the book is on what the designer needs to consider during the early conceptual visualization stages, and in the detailed stages of the design process. This fully updated edition features new practical advice on how to design sustainably throughout the book. This approach will bridge the gap between the industrial designer, tasked with the 'big picture' product design and use, and the part designer, tasked with the detailed plastic part design for manufacture. Useful to both experienced and novice designers, this book brings valuable design process information through specific examples, enabling designers and engineers in the plastics industry to effectively use the available technical information to successfully design and manufacture new products. - Brings together the worlds of the plastic part designer and the industrial designer and shows how each impacts the success of a development project. - Teaches the "Four Pillars considerations (Materials, Processes, Tooling, and Design) required for every design decision to be made during a plastic part design project. The interrelationship of these considerations with the sustainability intent for the product being developed is taught and illustrated within this new edition. - Illustrates the product design process roadmap from creation of the concept through implementation into manufacturing, highlighting steps and methods used throughout the process to limit risk and ensure success. - Includes methods and design project management techniques used to ensure an efficient design process and successful manufacturing of the product or part.
