Part of a multi-volume work, this study of polymer science and engineering has been revised and updated to reflect the vast changes that have occurred in polymer and plastics technology over the past 20 years. Engineering and processing topics are examined, as well as computer applications.

The compact, affordable reference, revised and updated The Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, Concise Third Edition provides the key information from the complete, twelve-volume Mark's Encyclopedia in an affordable, condensed format. Completely revised and updated, this user-friendly desk reference offers quick access to all areas of polymer science, including important advances in nanotechnology, imaging and analytical techniques, controlled polymer architecture, biomimetics, and more, all in one volume. Like the twelve-volume full edition, the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, Concise Third Edition provides both SI and common units, carefully selected key references for each article, and hundreds of tables, charts, figures, and graphs.

This is a supplement volume to the Encyclopedia of Polymer
