Editorial Reviews

"The breadth of the topics covered, the depth of the discussion in each of these fields, and the sufficiently detailed and up-to-date information about the PP technology make this book very useful to both novices and seasoned practitioners alike. … The book is highly recommended and is a must for all plastic engineers who deal with PP."
