From the Publisher

The author describes the relation between plastics processing and plastic materials' product requirements and costs. He offers guidelines for maximizing processing efficiency in the manufacture of all types of products, using all types of plastics, and he maintains that a knowledge of processing methods helps one decide whether a given product can be fabricated and by what process. Appends a metric conversion chart and other materials. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
