By: Christina Mancuso May. 22, 2013
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, and Hanser Publishers, the premier publisher of plastics technology and applied materials titles, today announced the companies will offer plastics researchers and engineers a new plastics e-book collection on ScienceDirect.
Plastics Engineering from Hanser on ScienceDirect includes more than 55 titles from leading authors, such as Dr. Robert A. Malloy, a member of the Plastics Academy's Hall of Fame. Other key titles cover plastics design principles, adhesives, rubbers, polymers, and extrusion. The addition of Hanser content with the benefits of full-text, online access on ScienceDirect delivers improved workflow data and best practice information to people in research and development in the field of engineering design and manufacturing.
The Hanser collection complements the engineering books from Elsevier's William Andrew and Butterworth-Heinemann imprints, as well as chemistry and materials science books collections already available on ScienceDirect. This focus on plastics and polymers will benefit corporations in plastics manufacturing, chemicals, consumer goods, construction, aerospace and automotive, and other downstream sectors where plastic materials are utilized.
Hanser titles now available in the collection on ScienceDirect include:
Material Science of Polymers for Engineers, 3rd Edition
This unified approach to polymer material science covers the wide range of underlying principles: from molecular structure to material properties; from the relationships between part design, processing and performance to mechanical properties and failure mechanisms.
Mixing of Rubber Compounds
This book covers the major aspects of rubber compounding. All relevant issues are covered including machine design, process technology, and material parameters in one comprehensive volume.
Engineering with Rubber, 3rd Edition
This book provides the principles of rubber science and technology, such as what rubber is, how it behaves, and how to design engineering components with rubber. It introduces the principles of rubber components and offers solutions to the questions engineers in rubber processing face each day.
All 55 Hanser titles can be purchased as a collection on ScienceDirect.com.
