Plastics: Materials and Processing

A very well written text book. The complete story on plastics and plastics processing, clearly stated. He includes historical and application/business viewpoints, in addition to chemical and manufacturing. Professor Strong gets an A+! "I want to say one word to you. Just one word....Are you listening? ..."

The book is great, it shuold be called plastics for dummies. It explain everything in a simple matter and focuses on the aplication of the concepts. Great for anyone with engineering or technical knowledge or who needs to learn the who's or why's of plastics.

I used this book for my college course on plastics and still use it as a reference. Easy to read with good explanations of the basics of plastics through processing. The organization of the book makes it convenient to use as a reference.

I have used this book as a reference and for teaching a Plastics Course in Mechanical Engineering. It is very easy to read, it does not get into too much confusing details about the chemistry - it explains the chemical fundamentals very easily. It does a great job of relating plastic structures with actual properties such as permeability, strength and conductivity. All my students consider a great book. It is one of the best written books I have encountered during my academic career. Worth its weight in gold !!

Very helpfull and usefull book for everyone who would like to know about plastic materials technology.
