About the Book:

Product Design and Testing of Polymeric Materials integrates polymer science principles with detailed experimental programs-helpingengineers create optimal products.

Thoroughly investigating both physical and processing properties of polymeric substance, this valuable guide presents the philosophy of product development management . . . includes test methods for base property and end-use performance . . . pairs viscometric and small-scale testing with molecular properties for processing advantages . . . examines quality control from the laboratory to the marketplace . . . applies the mechanics of experimental design to product optimization problems . . . covers the mathematics needed for proper regression of experimental data . . . and much more.
