Outlines of Polymer Technology English 2004

This book is a sequel to the author's earlier book, Outlines of Polymer Manufacturing of Polymers (PHI, 2000), designed in the similar question-answer format to cover the processing techniques of polymers. Together, the two books would make a complete study of the subject of Polymer Technology. The text introduces the students to the basic concepts regarding the process technologies by which polymers are transformed into consumer goods. The entire content has been planned to cover the syllabus of a two-semester course in Polymer/Plastics technology. Moreover, the questions are framed according to the pattern followed in examinations of universities and state boards of technical education, making it an ideal textbook for undergraduate as well as diploma-level courses in chemical engineering. The book is divided into 16 chapters that present topics ranging from mixing and compounding, moulding, calendering, etc. to welding and joining, and finishing operation. The topics have been so arranged that details regarding every operation are preceded by the fundamental knowledge of the operation to clarify the concepts.
