Zusatztext "The comprehensive coverage of polymer engineering topics makes this text an important 'go-to' source! especially for specialty topics. The text is well organized with extensive references that provide a ready entre into details associated with all topics."- Kenneth J. Wynne! Virginia Commonwealth University! USA"The Plastics Technology Handbook represents the 'Polymer Bible' where you can find the primary information about everything related to polymers. The coverage of the area is unique! If you have any question about polymers - please open first this book and thereafter only you can look for a more detailed information in the specific literature. It is hardly possible to formulate a question regarding polymers and not to find its answer in this remarkable Handbook."- Stoyko Fakirov! University of Auckland! New Zealand Informationen zum Autor Manas Chanda is emeritus professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India. He also worked as a summer-term visiting professor at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, with regular summer visits during 1980-2000. A five-time recipient of the International Scientific Exchange Award from the National Sciences and Research Council, Canada, Dr. Chanda is the author or coauthor of nearly 100 scientific papers, articles, and books, including Introduction to Polymer Science and Chemistry (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis). A fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineers and a member of the Indian Plastics Institute, he received the BS (1959) and MSc (1962) degrees from Calcutta University, and the PhD (1966) from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.
