The Effect of Temperature and Other Factors on Plastics and Elastomers is an extensive upgrade from the original publication.

The Effect of Temperature and Other Factors on Plastics and Elastomers added plastics family, obsolete products have been removed and replaced, approximately two thirds of the graphs are new, and all tables have been completely revised and contain extensive additional data.

In addition:

• More than 70 plastics types are covered, with the chemistry of each type sumarized.
• Sections cover polymer chemistry, property measurement, ASTM and ISO testing procedure, and polymer selection to provide a basis for understanding the data and how to use it.
• More than 1000 graphs and table allow for easy comparison of a wide variety of plastics products.

The Effect of Temperature and Other Factors on Plastics and Elastomers has been designed for materials engineers, polymer chemists, plastics suppliers, plastics raw materials suppliers, and plastics marketing and sales personnel.
