This new edition of the bestselling Handbook of Thermoplastics incorporates recent developments and advances in thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and applications. With contributions from 65 internationally recognized authorities in the field, the second edition features new and updated discussions of several topics, including:

Polymer nanocomposites
Laser processing of thermoplastic composites
Bioplastics
Natural fiber thermoplastic composites
Materials selection
Design and application
Additives for thermoplastics
Recycling of thermoplastics
Regulatory and legislative issues related to health, safety, and the environment

The book also discusses state-of-the-art techniques in science and technology as well as environmental assessment with regard to the impact of thermoplastics. Each chapter is written in a review format that covers:

Historical development and commercialization
Polymerization and process technologies
Structural and phase characteristics in relation to use properties
The effects of additives on properties and applications
Blends, alloys, copolymers, and composites derived from thermoplastics
Applications

Giving thorough coverage of the most recent trends in research and practice, the Handbook of Thermoplastics, Second Edition is an indispensable resource for experienced and practicing professionals as well as upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in a wide range of disciplines and industries.
