Permeability Properties of Plastics and Elastomers, Fourth Edition provides a comprehensive collection of graphical multipoint and tabular data covering the permeation of liquids, vapors, and gases through plastic or polymeric materials, such as films, membranes, and containers.
This updated edition includes an entirely new chapter on sustainable and biodegradable polymers and an extensive introductory section covering fatigue, what it is, how it is measured, and the fundamentals of permeation and permeability properties. Foundational information is also provided on the production of films, containers, membranes, and the markets and applications for these materials.
Presents an essential reference tool: part of the daily workflow of engineers and scientists involved in the plastics industry and product design with plastics
Helps practitioners gain knowledge of exact permeation rates for liquids, vapors or gases through a range of polymeric materials
Enables engineers to improve performance of their products where permeability properties are important, from where packages need to be near-hermetically sealed, to where a selectively permeable barrier is required
Materials development researchers, academics and practitioners such as material engineers/scientists, plastic part designers, process designers and fabricators and large polymer manufacturers
