Hot topics such as 3-D printing and smart plastics are also included, giving plastics engineers the information they need to take these embryonic technologies and deploy them in their own work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the increasing demands for lightness and fuel economy in the automotive industry (not least due to CAF  standards), plastics will soon be used even further in vehicles. A new chapter has been added to cover the technology trends in this area, and the book has been substantially updated to reflect advancements in technology, regulations, and the commercialization of plastics in various areas. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecycling of plastics has been thoroughly revised to reflect ongoing developments in sustainability of plastics. Extrusion processing is constantly progressing, as have the elastomeric materials, fillers, and additives which are available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, the focus is on the engineering aspects of producing and using plastics. The properties of plastics are explained, along with techniques for testing, measuring, enhancing, and analyzing them. Practical introductions to both core topics and new developments make this work equally valuable for newly qualified plastics engineers seeking the practical rules-of-thumb they don't teach you in school and experienced practitioners evaluating new technologies or getting up-to-speed in a new field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Myer Kutz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0323390404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780323390408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Andrew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.63d","brand":"Myer Kutz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057852412159,"sku":"9780323390408","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7493ef3a-7580-4920-ac9f-9b21a4d46447.jpg?v=1685049242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/applied-plastics-engineering-handbook-myer-kutz-9780323390408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
