The second edition of this much used reference book is an exhaustive compilation of multipoint performance data that serves as an evaluation of plastics as they are exposed to varying temperature and humidity conditions. <p>The reference data book covers more than 70 plastics types and the chemistry of each type is summarized. Sections covering polymer chemistry, property measurement, ASTM and ISO testing procedure, as well as polymer selection, provide a basis for understanding the data and how to use it. The inclusion of more than 1000 graphs and tables also allows for easy comparison of a wide variety of plastics products. <p>The second edition is an extensive upgrade from the original 1991 edition. Additional plastics families have been added, obsolete products have been removed and replaced, approximately two thirds of the graphs are new, and the tables have been completely revised and contain extensive additional data.</div><div><strong>Added: </strong>Monday, Aug 25 2008</div> </p> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:00:00 EDT http://albert.rit.edu:2082/record=b2301319 http://albert.rit.edu/record=b1889867 <div style="width:125px;float:left;clear:none;border:1px solid #ccc;background-color:#fff;padding:15px 5px;margin:10px 10px 10px 0px;"> <img border="0" src="http://syndetics.com/hw7.pl?isbn=1537/SC.GIF" /> </div><p style="margin:15px 0 15px 150px;"><div><strong>Added: </strong>Tuesday, Aug 12 2008</div> </p> Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:00:00 EDT http://albert.rit.edu:2082/record=b1889867 http://albert.rit.edu/record=b2300584 <div style="width:125px;float:left;clear:none;border:1px solid #ccc;background-color:#fff;padding:15px 5px;margin:10px 10px 10px 0px;"> <img border="0" src="http://syndetics.com/hw7.pl?isbn=/SC.GIF" /> </div><p style="margin:15px 0 15px 150px;"><div><strong>Added: </strong>Friday, Jun 27 2008</div> </p> Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:00:00 EDT http://albert.rit.edu:2082/record=b2300584 http://albert.rit.edu/record=b2300597 <div style="width:125px;float:left;clear:none;border:1px solid #ccc;background-color:#fff;padding:15px 5px;margin:10px 10px 10px 0px;"> <img border="0" src="http://syndetics.com/hw7.pl?isbn=0871705206/SC.GIF" /> </div><p style="margin:15px 0 15px 150px;"><div><strong>Added: </strong>Thursday, Jun 5 2008</div> </p> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:00:00 EDT http://albert.rit.edu:2082/record=b2300597 http://albert.rit.edu/record=b2300596 <div style="width:125px;float:left;clear:none;border:1px solid #ccc;background-color:#fff;padding:15px 5px;margin:10px 10px 10px 0px;"> <img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51X4R826PML._SL75_.jpg" /> </div><p style="margin:15px 0 15px 150px;"><div><strong>Added: </strong>Thursday, Jun 5 2008</div> </p> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:00:00 EDT http://albert.rit.edu:2082/record=b2300596
