Books in the Polymer Science and Plastics Engineering series

Synthetic rubber used by the tire industry and other applications, such as household products, has brought huge economic and societal benefits throughout the world.

Because it is critically important to manufacture quality products, a reasonable balance must be drawn between control requirements and parameters for improved processing method with respect to plastics additives.

Polymers are an important part in everyday life; products made from polymers range from sophisticated articles, such as biomaterials, to aerospace materials. One of the reasons for the great popularity exhibited by polymers is their ease of processing.

This book responds to the growing interest in conjugated polymer-dopant interaction across disciplines. The first book dedicated to the subject, it offers an A to Z overview, detailing doping interaction, dopant types, doping techniques, influence of dopant on applications, and more.

This book covers in-depth the various polymers that are used for sensors and actuators from the vantage point of organic chemistry. Since many chemists may not be familiar with the physics and operational specifics of sensors, the book has a general chapter dealing with the overall physics and basic principles of sensors.

Polymers are increasingly finding applications in the areas of energy storage and conversion. This book assimilates these advances in the form of a comprehensive text that includes the synthesis and properties of a large number of polymer systems for applications in the areas of lithium batteries, photovoltaics, solar cells, etc.

In recent decades, Polyoxmethylene (POM) has been positioned as a high performance engineering polymer with increasing worldwide demand, particularly in the automotive, electronics, medical, and consumer goods industries. Despite this interest in POM, there has not been a book devoted to this compound.

Plastics Additives and Testing is a practical book for engineers and operators and discusses both inorganic and organic chemicals that are widely used as additives in plastics processing operations. It is common practice today to use analytical techniques to improve plastics processing.
