This book covers a wide range of testing methods, from long-established basic techniques to recent developments, including the latest polymer testing standards. It includes examples for the optimization of materials and the evaluation of part properties, providing an insight into modern polymer testing and its interdisciplinary character. The third edition includes an all-new chapter on the testing of polymer films, as well as numerous tables and figures providing structures and physico-chemical data. A special section for beginners is dedicated to guiding formulations and test methods, while a relatively short section deals with development trends in Europe. Sustainability is a major theme, and it is demonstrated that PVC has a strong potential to develop into a fully sustainable material. Another section deals with the everyday problems in the processing of PVC, such as the formation of specks, photo-effects, and plate-out. Plate-out is a common problem in the processing of PVC but only relatively few publications cover it. The causes, influencing factors, and mechanisms are still poorly understood. This section, unique in the literature, provides assistance in the selection and dosage of raw materials to PVC processors, based on the influencing factors during processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 698g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 x 170 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781569908068\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolfgang Grellmann,Sabine Seidler","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44520431157498,"sku":"9781569908068","price":210.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692970900541_book.jpg?v=1693031705","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/polymer-testing-9781569908068","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
