Foreign Technology Alert- Bibliography: Plastics Technology

摘要

This document provides a systematically organized collection of abstracts from the NTIS bibliographic data base relating to plastics technology and describing work originating from countries outside the USA. A tailored search of the data base was performed and the output carefully categorized, edited and indexed. The reports range from market studies through production, properties and applications to environmental testing. Much of the technology originates from Western Europe, particularly the United Kingdom, France and West Germany. Most reports are in their native language, but some translations are available; all titles are annotated accordingly. Contents: Industry overviews; Market surveys; Plastics and polymer production (Synthetic methods, Manufacture and processing, Waste recycling); Structural investigations; Physics (Mechanical properties, Electrical properties, Other studies); Chemistry (Polymerization, Radiation studies, Plasma chemistry); Product applications (Aerospace industry, Civil engineering, Furnishing industry, Electrical engineering, Mining, Medical and industrial); Environmental testing. Each of the 19 sections in the book is cross-referenced; there is also an author index and useful subject index based on major descriptors. (Copyright (c) Infocom, 1982.)
