The selection and application of engineered materials is an integrated process that requires an understanding of the interaction between materials properties, manufacturing characteristics, design considerations, and the total life cycle of the product. This reference book on engineering plastics provides practical and comprehensive coverage on how the performance of plastics is characterized during design, property testing, and failure analysis. The fundamental structure and properties of plastics are reviewed for general reference, and detailed articles describe the important design factors, properties, and failure mechanisms of plastics. The effects of composition, processing, and structure are detailed in articles on the physical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Other articles cover failure mechanisms such as: crazing and fracture; impact loading; fatigue failure; wear failures, moisture related failure; organic chemical related failure; photolytic degradation; and microbial degradation. Characterization of plastics in failure analysis is described with additional articles on analysis of structure, surface analysis, and fractography.
Characterization and Failure Analysis of Plastics
ASM Handbook: Characterization and failure analysis of plastics. Volume 11B
This book contains analysis of reasons that cause products to fail.
Written in easy-to-read and -use format, this book updates and revises its bestselling predecessor to become the most complete, comprehensive resource on plastics testing.

This location of the bell ID can come into contact with the outer diameter (OD) of the spigot end of the mating pipe when the pipe joint is bent severely. The bell section flares out slightly from the fracture origin location to the end ...
CATALYSTS ZIEGLER-NATTA CATALYSTS The bulk of the PP produced today is manufactured through the use of the Ziegler-Natta catalyst system, which usually consists of a catalyst, cocatalyst, and donor. Because the resin made from this ...
With a focus on statistically predicting failure and product yields, this book can help the design engineer, manufacturing engineer, and quality control engineer all better understand the common mechanisms that lead to electronics materials ...
Plastics failure, to a certain extent, is the result of a phenomenal increase in the number and variety of applications in relatively few years. The focus of this book is on actual field and product failures.
