Part of a series of data-rich handbooks within the Plastics Design Library, Permeability Properties of Plastics and Elastomers provides a comprehensive collection of graphical multipoint data and tabular data covering the permeation of liquids, vapors and gases through plastic or polymeric materials, such as films, membranes and containers. The data for this fourth edition has been updated to cover upwards of five years since the previous edition was published, and also includes an entirely new chapter covering sustainable and biodegradable polymers. The book also includes an extensive introductory section covering fatigue, what it is and how it is measured; and the fundamentals of permeation and permeability properties. Foundational information is also provided on the production of films, containers and membranes, and the markets and applications for these materials. An essential reference tool: part of the daily workflow of engineers and scientists involved in the plastics industry and product design with plasticsHelps practitioners to gain knowledge of exact permeation rates for liquids, vapors or gases through a range of polymeric materialsEnables engineers to improve performance of their products where permeability properties are important - from where packages need to be near-hermetically sealed, to where a selectively permeable barrier is required INDICE: 1.
