Mechanical desgn pol

This text is a detailed account of the mechanical properties of polymer foam products. It shows how the mechanical properties of polymer foams depend on the foam microstructure and polymer types as well as providing data to allow designers to select a suitable foam for products such as helmets and packaging materials. Divided into two distinct parts - mechanical foams and design of foam products, this book is desinged for industrial designers, design engineers, polymer technologists in the plastics industries as well as being a reference for academics in related fields.
