Summary
This book describes the various mechanisms of polymer degradation, and then illustrates each failure mechanism with a number of case studies. This book was written with the support of the UK Department of Trade and Industry. It is intended to raise awareness of the causes and consequences of polymer product failures, in order to reduce the future incidences of such failures, and their considerable costs to industry
