This text describes how plastics, rubber, and fibers are synthesised, processed into useful materials, characterised, and compounded with fillers and other additives to improve performance for specific applications. Their use in a wide variety of technologies including membrane separations, electronics, and energy production and storage is described. A new chapter in the 3rd Edition shows how computer correlations and simulations can be used to predict properties of new plastics and to better understand how existing plastics perform.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to polymers, well formatted for Kindle
Reviewed in the United States on 21 August 2015

This is a really nice introduction to polymers, and covers most major topics. It nicely complements the Intro to Polymers book by Young and Lovell (also another nice intro book). This book is geared for science majors and engineers. It has some basic math (algebra and a little calculus), and assumes a basic understanding of chemistry and organic chemistry.

I also like that it reads well on a Kindle (Kindle PC App and iPad Kindle app). Chemical structures are graphically clear, and the mathematical equations in the book are readable. Not the best Kindle formatted book I've seen, but not bad.

I would like to say that this book is rife with examples and explanations, but it isn't. The book is brief to say the least. For what it lacks in actually enhancing the understanding of the reader, it allows you to search google for more comprehensive explanations. I used this book for a polymer engineering course. Perhaps it was the wrong textbook for such a topic as it mostly relates to what a technician would characterize in a lab. I gained little from an engineering perspective.

No examples in text, poor editing. Shoot yourself in the foot instead.
