Engineering Thermoplastics: Polycarbonates, Polyacetals, Polyesters, Cellulose Esters.


Edited by Ludwig Bottenbruch, formerly Bayer AG Bayer AG

German chemical and pharmaceutical company. Founded in 1863 by Friedrich Bayer (1825–1880), it now operates plants in more than 30 countries. Bayer has originated scores of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and synthetic materials; it was the first developer and

This authoritative handbook and reference work covers all basic and technical aspects of chemistry, production, testing, properties, processing and applications of the group of four commercially important engineering thermoplastics: polycarbonates polycarbonates, group of clear, thermoplastic polymers used mainly as molding compounds (see plastic). Polycarbonates are prepared by the reaction of an aromatic difunctional phenol with either phosgene or an aromatic or aliphatic carbonate.  polyacetals, polyesters, and cellulose esters Noun 1. cellulose ester - any ester of cellulose with an acid
cellulose - a polysaccharide that is the chief constituent of all plant tissues and fibers
. It was written for processors and users of these materials

This comprehensive overview of all scientific, technical and practical aspects of this group of engineering plastics is essential for chemists, engineers, technicians and designers working with one or more of the engineering resins covered. It gives the basics of the corresponding materials know-how as well as specified advice for processing and applying the different engineering resins in developing competitive products.
