Many technical books about plastics are too theoretical and difficult to read. The intention of
this book is to offer something completely different: it is easy to read with many examples
taken from everyday life. It is suitable for readers at secondary school and university levels
and can be used for training activities in industry as well as for self-studies. Included are
over 600 color images to illustrate the wide variety of plastics and process workflows used
today. The book also contains a number of computer-based tools that can be downloaded from the
author's website. With comprehensive coverage this is probably the most versatile plastics
handbook ever written! New in the second edition are much-expanded content (new chapter) on
extrusion new color figures a new layout and corrections throughout. A bonus download of
working Excel tools is provided to supplement the book content.
