One Line DescriptionAn excellent, unique, and up-to-date referene book on polyoxymethylene, its compounds and nanocomposites, specifcially dealing with synthesis, characterization, processing, morpohology, and applications.
Audience
The handbook will be of interest to polymer science engineers and technologists, scientists, senior graduate students, researchers from R&D laboratories, and manufacturers who work with this polymer, both in industry and academia. These industries include the automotive, electronics, medical, and consumer goods sectors.
DescriptionPolyoxymethylene Handbook: Structure, Properties, Applications, and Their Nanocomposites summarizes many of the state-of-the-art technological and research accomplishments in the area of polyoxymethylene (POM). It discusses in length the polymerization and manufacture of polyoxymethylene and various types of additives, as well as the structure and crystallization behavior of POM and its thermal, physical, mechanical, flame retardant, chemical, electrical, and optical properties. The environmental impact of POM is also addressed.
The 15 chapters in the handbook are written by prominent researchers from industry, academia and government/private research laboratories across the globe. Because so few books have ever been published on polyoxymethylene, the handbook is a very valuable reference tool that truly serves as a “one stop” resource for readers and users seeking solutions to both fundamental and applied problems.
