Handbook of Polymer Testing

Knowledge of the properties of plastics is essential. Each class of materials has its own specific test procedures, which have developed as the material has evolved. This book concentrates on one area of testing - short-term mechanical tests. These are defined as tests of mechanical properties where the effects of long periods of time and cycling are ignored. This group of tests includes hardness, tensile, compression, shear, flexing, impact and tear and in this book it is also taken to include density and dimensional measurement together with test piece preparation and conditioning.Brown, Roger is the author of 'Handbook of Polymer Testing ', published 2002 under ISBN 9781859573242 and ISBN 185957324X.
