Description:The Age of Plastics (boldly forecast in 1941 in the earliest edition of this book) is now almost on us. Once despised as cheap substitutes, plastics are today established in their own right as astoundingly strong, versatile, and economic materials for construction, coating, packaging, bonding, furnishing, clothing, and other purposes. Acetals, rigid vinyls, and high-density polythene are more and more being used in engineering, for the construction of roofs, pipes, and floors, and in other ways.In the first part of this Pelican, the authors describe the chemical constitution and physical properties of high polymers, as plastics are correctly called. Outlining the progress from back-shed production to big business, they explain the processes of extraction from oil, coal, animal and vegetable matter, and the modern methods of moulding and manipulation. In the second part they detail the endless applications of the various plastics in the home and in industry.Whether you know PVC and Terylene as polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene terephthalate, or vice versa, you will find this Pelican in its latest form a very readable and comprehensive account of the crowning achievement of organic chemistry.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
