"Plastics have moulded the modern world and transformed the quality of life. Plastics possess an unique combination of properties. Plastics can be super tough, rigid as well as flexible, transparent as well as opaque and can allow selective permeation or act as a barrier material.

This book contains diverse aspects of structure and properties of important plastic materials with processes, applications, profiles, suppliers of machinery and raw material etc. The book is very helpful for new entrepreneurs, technologists, libraries and for those who want to diversify."
