Polymer Product Failure

Author: P.R. Lewis
Published: 1999
Number of Pages: 106 (This is a soft-backed is from the Rapra Review Reports, Vol. 10, No. 3, Report 111.)

Use of polymers in product design has continued to grow at a rate unrivalled by conventional materials such as metal, ceramics or glass. More polymeric materials are becoming available to the designer, and this report highlights the need for caution in new design work, for careful use of new materials, and for awareness of the product environment. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.
