Overview
- Culminates more than two decades of intensive work, at industrial and government research laboratories, on key issues of service life prediction for polymeric materials
- Discusses strategies for implementing these advances and identifies outstanding scientific issues that need to be addressed
- Places the understanding of polymeric materials degradation under a new, solid scientific footing leading to improved test methodologies to vastly improve materials and processes

About this book
Service Life Prediction of Polymeric Materials: Global Perspectives combines developed content derived from topics discussed in the Fourth International Symposium on Service Life Prediction (Key Largo, Florida, December 2006). This critical examination of the existing and alternative methodologies used to assess the service life of polymeric materials presents readers with the advances in accelerated and field exposure testing protocols. Written by established experts in the service life community, this volume introduces advanced methods, including high throughput and combinatorial analyses, models data collection and storage formats.
Researchers and engineers involved with materials and polymer science, coatings technologists and automotive materials will find Service Life Prediction of Polymeric Materials: Global Perspectives a useful tool.
