 Preface

One of the fastest changing fields today is the field of plastics as new polymers are synthesized, new uses
are found, and existing processes and products are modified and improved for ecological needs, better
economics, and better values. A need has thus been felt to bring out a new edition of the Plastics
Technology Handbook, as it has established itself over the years as an important source book of
information on modern plastics. In this new edition, the organization and structure of the book have
not been altered, but each chapter has been substantially revised by eliminating less timely material and
adding more important and relevant material as well as new topics of interest in the light of recent
advances and new developments. The much appreciated textbook-like approach of the earlier editions
has been retained as it offers to the reader not only the factual information on processing methods,
properties, and applications of myriad polymers and polymeric products but also better understanding
aided by critical insights into their basic molecular nature and behavior.
Chapter 1, titled “Characteristics of Polymers” presents a thorough, comprehensive and self-contained
account of different aspects of polymers at the molecular level to ensure a fuller appreciation of the wide
range of application potential of polymers and the methods that can be used to upgrade their
performance. Starting with a brief account of the molecular make-up and structural features of
macromolecules and a brief overview of their methods of production, Chapter 1 focuses on the
relationships among polymer properties, chemical structures, and physical states of aggregation and
explains the significance, role, and mechanism of action of stabilizing agents and other additives that
make plastics more useful by overcoming some of their inherent weaknesses. The discussion is supported
by citing examples of common industrial recipes to highlight the application of theory into practice. In
the new edition, recent advances in supramolecular polymerization, flame retardancy, polymer-based
nanomedicines and drug delivery, and the new concept of oxo-biodegradable polymers have been
discussed.
What makes plastics the most versatile of all materials is the ease with which they can be given any
desired shape and form. Molding and fabrication processes, however, vary depending on the type of
polymers to be processed and the end products to be made. Chapter 2, which deals with polymer
fabrication processes for plastics, rubber and fiber, has been thoroughly revised in the new edition to
include recent developments in the respective fields and a number of processes not covered in the
previous edition. Particularly, the discussion on plastic foams and foam extrusion processes has been
further broadened.
Chapter 3 deals with plastics properties and testing. Properties are discussed under four main headings
— mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal. Besides the remarkable ease and scope of plastics
fabrication, what gives plastics the dominant place among all materials is the wide range of properties
inherent in plastics or imparted by various means. The chapter discusses the four major types of
properties, giving theoretical derivations where necessary and providing explanations on molecular and
structural basis. The latter part of the chapter deals with methods of testing and identification of plastics.
Where standard test methods have been developed, these have been included. The principles of these tests

q 2006 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC

have been shown with schematic diagrams, and the properties measured have been indicated. Simple and
handy chemical tests for identification of most of the common types of plastics have been described in a
structured manner.
In this book, polymers have been broadly divided into two categories, namely, industrial polymers
and polymers in special uses. The first group of polymers is those which are produced on very large,
large, and relatively large scales, including the so-called engineering polymers that possess superior
mechanical properties for engineering applications. Chapter 4, which deals with industrial polymers,
has been revised by adding more information with regard to processing and applications of the
polymers. The section on polyblends in this chapter has been expanded to include the new emerging
field of nanoblends.
Besides a handful of high-volume polymers like polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, poly(vinyl
chloride), polycarbonate, nylon, polyesters, etc., which are very visible in everyday life, there are
hundreds of other polymers, polymer derivatives, and polymeric combinations that play special and
often critical roles in diverse fields of human activities. Chapter 5 describes such polymers. Some of
these specialty polymers possess, inherently, one or more special or some unusual properties that make
them indispensable for specific applications, while there are many other polymers that are tailor-made
to meet specific and critical needs. For a systematic discussion, these polymers can be placed in different
groups according to their properties and/or areas of uses, such as high-temperature and fire-resistant
polymers, liquid crystal polymers, electroactive polymers, electrolytic polymers, photoresist polymers,
ionic and ion-exchange polymers, packaging polymers, biodegradable polymers, adhesive polymers,
and polymers in optical information storage. While discussions on all these groups of polymers in
Chapter 5 of the earlier edition have now been revised and updated, the new edition also features a
number of new topics focusing on recent developments in polymer synthesis and applications. These
new additions include polymeric sensors, conductive fiber fillers, polymeric optical fibers, polymer
electrolyte membranes, biodegradable polymer scaffolds, scavenger resins, permselective polymer
membranes, hydrogels and smart polymers, dendritic polymers, shape memory polymers, polymers
in microencapsulation, polymer nanocomposites, wood-polymer composites, and polymerization-filled
composites.
Plastics recycling is now an important area of activity both in terms of research and practice, driven by
environmental pressure as well as economic considerations. Although plastics recycling has been
practiced for many years with emphasis on recycling of industrial scraps and homogeneous post-
consumer plastics, the industry has now accepted the challenge of recycling heterogeneous plastics waste
based on new technologies of separation and processing. Chapter 6 on recycling of plastics has been
revised in the new edition to provide a state-of-the-art account of the various methods of plastics
recycling available, highlighting both their merits and deficiencies.
As we live in a plastics age, the diverse fields of plastics technology are also undergoing rapid changes
both qualitatively and quantitatively with many newer applications of common polymers and specialty
polymers coming to light. While there are continuous improvements in the established uses of polymers,
new uses are being developed in such diverse areas as the automotive and aerospace industries,
packaging, agriculture, horticulture, domestic and sports appliances, office equipment, communication,
electronics and electrical technology, and biomedical applications. The last chapter (Chapter 7), titled
“Trends in Polymer Applications,” presents a comprehensive overview of new developments in polymer
uses in all these areas.
The stimulus to venture on to the fourth edition of Plastics Technology Handbook has come from the
consistently excellent response and acceptance shown by readers ever since the publication of the first
edition of the book in 1982. We are indebted to them. Among many people who contributed assistance to
the making of this new edition, we wish to thank particularly Ms. B. G. Girija of the Department of
Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore for patiently making computer graphics of
all new illustrations in the book, Dr. Amitava Sarkar of Kentucky University (USA) and Dr. Deepyaman
Seth of University of Waterloo (Canada) for providing valuable literature inputs, and Dr. Ajay Karmarkar
and Dr. S. K. Sharma, both of the Institute of Wood Science and Technology, Bangalore, for offering

significant help in software- and computer-related matters. Finally, we must express our grateful
appreciation for the assistance we have received from our wives, Mridula and Snigdha, and our
daughters, Amrita and Rarita, who have shown great forbearance, understanding, and graceful sacrifice
without which the book writing venture would not have been completed.
