Thermal Degradation of Polymeric Materials Biostabilization Deflection of a hollow deckDescription Author: K. Pielichowski and J. Njuguna ISBN 978 1 85957 498 0 Published: 2005 306 pages Summary Thermal degradation of polymeric materials is an important issue from both the academic and the industrial viewpoints. Understanding the thermal degradation of polymers is of paramount importance for developing a rational technology of polymer processing and higher temperature applications. Controlling degradation requires an understanding of
