"Plastics: Materials and Processing is useful for readers who need to gain, improve, or refresh their knowledge of plastics. The text provides an easy-to-read overview of a broad spectrum of topics; the high level of detail and comprehensive coverage make it valuable both as a textbook and as a resource tool. This is accomplished without extensive mathematics, so the book can be used by technicians, plastics professionals, and engineers."--Jacket.
