Reviews

The use of computer techniques to stimulate and evaluate durability effects, and improve design predictions, is a key contribution found in this text., SAMPE Journal Being readable, and also offering necessary theoretical and background explanations, Polymers and Polymer Composites . it very suitably examples the type of multi-purpose complimentary volume for which there is a real need., Polymers and Polymer Composites


All twelve contributions are well written and informative, and each contains a nice balance of relevant data and interesting anecdotal background...it represents essential reading for anyone who is entering the field as well as providing interesting reading for polymer scientists and engineers whose specialties are in other areas...I recommend it to all who are interested in macromolecular materials. <br>-D.M.
