Polymer Testing

Rapid growth and development in plastics production and application created a demand for meaningful


measuring and analysis methods in polymer testing. Advances in electronic measuring techniques led to


further developments in classic testing methods as well as to completely new methods, for which the first


edition of Polymer Testing was written.


Considerable advances in the evaluation of structure-property correlations and standardization have taken


place since the first edition of Polymer Testing, so the book has been comprehensively revised. This


updated edition covers the latest developments in the field, including amendments to the most important


polymer testing standards.


Included in this edition is essential information about damage processes and deformation mechanisms


that can be discovered with the help of coupled non-destructive polymer testing methods and hybrid


methods of polymer diagnostics, respectively. Numerous examples for the optimization of polymers and


their composites and the assessment of component properties provide a material science focused insight


into modern polymer testing.
