This is Volume 2 of a reference that compiles a working knowledge of the polymer chemistry and physics of fluoropolymers with detailed descriptions of commercial processing methods. With a focus on providing a reference and resource for learning the basics for those involved in polymer manufacturing and part fabrication as well as end users and students, the volumes are arranged according to the processing methods for fluoropolymers, which represents an approximate chronological order in which the important polymers were developed. In Volume 1, plastics engineer Ebnesajjad covered the polytetrafluoroethylene and polychlorotrifluoroethylenes and their processing techniques. This volume concentrates on melt-processible fluoropolymers, with an emphasis on the practical over the theoretical.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
Recent decades have seen an explosion of new applications of fluoropolymers in all aspects of human life, particularly in the chemical, electrical, and semiconductor industries. Properties of durability, inertness, low coefficient of friction, and high heat and chemical resistance are unmatched by any other family of plastics.
This is the second of a two volume series of books about fluoroplastics. Volume 1 covers the non-melt processible homopolymers, requiring non-traditional processing techniques. Volume 2 is devoted to the melt-processible fluoropolymers, their polymerization and fabrication techniques. Both a source of data and a reference, the properties, characterstics, applications, safety, disposal, and recycling of melt-processible fluoropolymers are comprehensively detailed for immediate use by practicing engineers and scientists in the plastics industry. Students will benefit from the book’s arrangement and extensive references.
Book Info
Volume 2 is devoted to the melt-processible fluoropolymers, their polymerization and fabrication techniques including injection molding, wire, tube, and film extrusion, rotational molding, blow molding, compression molding, and transfer molding.
