Nonmetallic Materials:
Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites
Explore ASM resources on ceramics, polymers, and composite materials
Characterization and Failure Analysis of Plastics
Provides practical and comprehensive coverage on the performance of plastics and how it is characterized during design, property testing, and failure analysis. The selection and application of engineered materials is an integrated process that requires an understanding of the interaction between materials properties, manufacturing characteristics, design considerations, and the total life cycle of the product.
