More Description
Fluoropolymers in the 21st Century is a concise but complete tutorial on these high performance materials from manufacturing to disposal, with a particularly emphasis on sustainability. The book considers three primary factors which are having an impact on the industry: environmental concerns and the need for improved sustainability, globalization of manufacturing and consumption, and the transition of legacy companies out of traditional materials and into the life sciences.
With the fate of the industry uncertain, the book traces the trends developed through the early decades of the material through to the present day and beyond, providing a thorough introduction to new practitioners in this field, and presenting key expert insights into the future direction in fluoropolymer technologies and products.
By putting together this information and insight into a single volume, this book provides materials scientists, chemical engineers, polymer scientists and engineers working in a range of industries - such as automotive, aerospace, power generation, and chemical processing - with an introduction to fluoropolymer materials and current trends in their use, as well as indicating future directions for research and application in this field.
