2nd Edition
Plastics Design Library, 2006
By L. Massey
This extensively updated, comprehensive databook was created for design and application engineers, scientists, and material producer technical support and research and development personnel. Important weathering characteristics and material properties of plastics and elastomers are presented in discussion, tabular and graphical sections. It provides a ready reference for comparing materials in the same family as well as materials in different families.
Data are presented on 80 major plastic and elastomer materials, including biodegradable or organic polymers. New to this edition, the resin chapters each contain textual summary information including category, general description, and weathering properties detailing information of the material’s susceptibility or immunity to weathering including discussion of test results. Extensive references are provided. The resin chapter material supplier trade name product data are presented in graphical and tabular format, with results normalized to SI units, retaining the familiar format of the 1st edition and allowing easy comparison between materials and test conditions.
The Effects of UV Light and Weather, 2nd Edition:
Covers thermoplastics, thermoplastic blends/alloys, biodegradeable thermoplastic alloys, thermosets, thermoplastic elastomers, and thermosetting elastomers (rubbers).
The introductory chapter provides basic information on the components of weathering, post exposure material properties affected by weathering, and a review of testing environments.
Expanded resin information includes brief discussions weathering stabilizers, including color stabilizers.
Commonly used standardized weathering tests are discussed, including; indoor and outdoor exposures, accelerated outdoor exposure, conventional aging, artificial accelerated tests.
Presents results of exposure conditions conducted in a variety of environments, from Arizona, Florida and California to Ohio and Pennsylvania to Okinawa, Japan.
Retained material properties data are provided on retained properties including tensile strength and elongation, ductility and embrittlement.
Retained surface and appearance properties data are provided on retained properties including color change, yellowing, and cracking, among others.
Format: Hard-backed, 286 x 224 mm, 520 pages.
