For the global plastics professional, this book offers a way to enhance plastics technical and marketing insights. Plastics End Use Applications is of most value to manufacturing engineers, research and development professionals and general researchers interested in plastics and materials science.

This book presents information essential for one to succeed at meeting product performance requirements while producing at the lowest cost - with zero defects. It offers validated and useful information on designing, including the use of sophisticated data analysis techniques. The information ranges from basic design principles to designs of differently sized molded products by different processes. Also explained is the importance of interrelating fabrication with designing of reinforced plastic products, based on quality requirements and the need to meet product performance goals at the lowest costs. Examples from many industries are included, with emphasis on aerospace and automotive, and all phases of design, ranging from obtaining the basic materials of construction, compositions, and layouts of fibers, to fabricating the products. Contents: Designing Fundamentals. Materials of Construction. Processing. Design Criteria. Designed Product. Testing and Quality Control. Molding RPs with Profit. Reviews: „... provides essential information ... serves as a comparative guide to update technical and non-technical people about common and advanced RPs based on past, present, and future trends.“ Plastics Engineering „... very well documented, organized and written ... highly recommended to designers, engineers, educators, molders and to professionals involved in testing, quality control, and estimation.“ Polymer News
