_Handbook of Material Weathering, Sixth Edition, _is an essential
guide to the effects of weathering on polymers and industrial
products, presenting theory, stress factors, methods of weathering and
testing and the effects of additives and environmental stress
cracking. The book provides graphical illustrations and numerical data
to examine the weathering of major polymers and industrial products,
including mechanisms of degradation, effect of thermal processes, and
characteristic changes in properties. The book also discusses
recycling, corrosion and weathering, and the weathering of stone. This
sixth edition updates this seminal work with recent developments and
the latest data.
Polymers and industrial plastics products are widely used in
environments where they are vulnerable to the effects of weathering.
Weathering stress factors can lead to deterioration or even complete
failure. Material durability is therefore vital, and products for
outdoor usage or actinic exposure are designed so that the effects of
artificial and natural weathering are minimized.
This book is an important reference source for those involved in
studying material durability, producing materials for outdoor use and
actinic exposure, research chemists in the photochemistry field,
chemists and material scientists designing new materials, users of
manufactured products, those who control the quality of manufactured
products and students who want to apply their knowledge to real
materials.
