Description
Handbook of Material Weathering, Hardcover by Wypych, George, ISBN 1895198623, ISBN-13 9781895198621, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Wypych (chemical engineering, ChemTec Laboratories, Canada) presents the fifth edition of this materials weathering reference, useful for researchers working on projects to be extrapolated to outdoor environments. Th opens with theoretical material about photophysics and photochemistry underlying many outdoor degradative processes, then proceeds to cover parameterization of weathering factors, laboratory degradation studies, methods of assessing weather damage, and data on many specific materials such as particular polymers, materials containing additives, compounded and recycled products. Since the previous edition, chapters on stabilizers and biodegradation have been eliminated for conciseness and usability. Distributed in the US by William Andrew, Inc.
