Engineers rely on Groover because of the book’s quantitative and engineering-oriented approach that provides more equations and numerical problem exercises. The fourth edition introduces more modern topics, including new materials, processes and systems. End of chapter problems are also thoroughly revised to make the material more relevant. Several figures have been enhanced to significantly improve the quality of artwork. All of these changes will help engineers better understand the topic and how to apply it in the field.

This convenient desk reference is one of a series of volumes containing carefully selected reprints from the world-renowned Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering. It brings together the original, complete articles related to engineering properties of polymers and composites, with full text, tables, figures, and reference materials. All articles are by industrial or academic experts in their fields, and the final work has been carefully reviewed by specialists. Arranged alphabetically, the articles cover nearly every aspect of polymeric engineering materials, providing detailed information on methods of manufacture, properties, and uses. Cross-referenced, with an extensive index.
