The Polymer Science and Plastics Engineering series combines the two interdisciplinary fields of polymer science and the plastics engineering to bring state of art advances in science and engineering of polymers and plastics. The book series publishes both short and standard length monographs, textbooks, edited volumes, handbooks, practical guides, and reference works related to all aspects of polymer science and plastics engineering including, but not limited to, renewable and synthetic polymer chemistry and physics, compositions (e.g. blends, composites, additives), processing, characterization, testing, design (materials and equipment), and applications. The books will serve a variety of industries such as automotive, food packaging, medical, and plastics as well as academia
