The more than 700 reports presented at ANTEC '97, the Annual Technical Conference of the Society of Plastics Engineers, comprise an encyclopedic compilation of new plastics technology. These reports are now published in a three-volume set and a CD-ROM that is fully text searchable. This is the single most comprehensive annual presentation of new plastics technology.

More than 700 presentations at ANTEC?98, the Annual Technical Conference of the Society of Plastics Engineers, comprise an encyclopedic compilation of the newest plastics technology available. This is the single most comprehensive annual presentation of new plastics technology!

ANTEC'96 on a single CD-ROM is easy to install, view, browse and search on most computers. All tables and figures, including photographs and micrographs, are included. Automated installation and full text searchability are based primarily on programming in the CD-ROM itself, with only minimal dependance on your computer's software.

This second edition Encyclopedia supplies nearly 350 gold standard articles on the methods, practices, products, and standards influencing the chemical industries. It offers expertly written articles on technologies at the forefront of the field to maximize and enhance the research and production phases of current and emerging chemical manufacturing practices and techniques. This collecting of information is of vital interest to chemical, polymer, electrical, mechanical, and civil engineers, as well as chemists and chemical researchers. A complete reconceptualization of the classic reference series the Encyclopedia of Chemical Processing and Design, whose first volume published in 1976, this resource offers extensive A-Z treatment of the subject in five simultaneously published volumes, with comprehensive indexing of all five volumes in the back matter of each tome. It includes material on the design of key unit operations involved with chemical processes; the design, unit operation, and integration of reactors and separation systems; process system peripherals such as pumps, valves, and controllers; analytical techniques and equipment; and pilot plant design and scale-up criteria. This reference contains well-researched sections on automation, equipment, design and simulation, reliability and maintenance, separations technologies, and energy and environmental issues. Authoritative contributions cover chemical processing equipment, engineered systems, and laboratory apparatus currently utilized in the field. It also presents expert overviews on key engineering science topics in property predictions, measurements and analysis, novel materials and devices, and emerging chemical fields.
