Summary:

This extensively updated, comprehensive databook was created for design and application engineers, scientists, and material producer technical support and research and development personnel. Important weathering characteristics and material properties of plastics and elastomers are presented in discussion, tabular and graphical sections. It provides a ready reference for comparing materials in the same family as well as materials in different families.Data are presented on 80 major plastic and elastomer materials, including biodegradable or organic polymers. New to this edition, the re
