PREFACE
Owing to their versatility and wide range of applications, polymeric materials are
of great commercial importance. Manufacturing processes of commercial products
are designed to meet the requirements of the final product and are influenced by
the physical and chemical properties of the polymeric material used.
The two-volume set Processing and Finishing of Polymeric Materials offers
over 45 self-contained articles written by prominent scholars from around the
world. The articles provide comprehensive, up-to-date information on key manu-
facturing technologies, including blending, compounding, extrusion, molding,
coating, and more.
Containing carefully selected reprints from Wiley's renowned Encyclopedia of
Polymer Science and Technology and additional sources that also appear online,
as well as new contributions, this reference features the same breadth and quality
of coverage and clarity of presentation found in the original. This reliable refer-
ence will be of particular interest to polymer and materials scientists, chemists,
chemical engineers, process engineers, students, researchers, and educators in re-
lated fields, and consultants and suppliers in the plastic and related industries.
