Polymer Science and Technology by Joel Fried, ISBN 0130181684
The definitive guide to polymer principles, properties, synthesis, and applications
"Polymer Science and Technology, Second Edition systematically reviews both the current state of polymer science and technology and emerging advances in the field. Leading polymer specialist Joel R. Fried offers thoroughly updated coverage of both polymer processing principles and the latest polymer applications in a wide range of industries -- including medicine, biotechnology, chemicals, and electronics.
In addition to synthetic polymer chemistry, Fried covers polymer properties in solution and in melt, rubber, and solid states, and surveys all important categories of plastics. This Second Edition also adds many new example calculations, homework problems, and bibliographic references. In-depth coverage includes: Polymer synthesis, including metallocene catalysis, atom-transfer radical and plasma polymerization, the use of supercritical fluids, and genetic engineeringAmorphous and crystalline states, transitions, and mechanical properties Characterization techniques, including new coverage of temperature-modulated DSCPolymer engineering, from rheology to modeling of polymer processing operationsFundamental principles of polymer blends and composites -- including up-to-the-minute discussions of nanocompositesCommodity thermoplastics and fibers, with new coverage of syndiotactic polystyrene, biopolymers, and naturally occurring polymersElastomers and thermosets Engineering and specialty polymers, including dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers, amorphous Teflon, and new electrical/optical applicationsMembrane separations and new coverage of barrier polymers

Foundations of Electroheat by A. C. Metaxas, ISBN 0471956449
Foundations of Electroheat unifies an extremely diverse area of electricity utilisation in a coherent and concise reference. From laser welding to plasma furnaces for waste treatment and induction heating for forging to radio frequency drying textiles, the various topics that comprise electroheat are presented as a whole. The unified approach concentrates on three major themes:
- Electromagnetic heating, embracing direct resistance, induction heating of metals and radio frequency and microwave heating of dielectrics
- The ionised state, dealing with laser processing, plasma torches and furnaces, glow discharges for nitriding and arc furnaces for melting scrap
- Heat and mass transfer

Dusty Plasmas: Physics, Chemistry, and Technological Impacts in Plasma Processing by Andre Bouchoule, ISBN 0471973866
Dusty Plasmas Physics, Chemistry and Technological Impacts in Plasma Processing Edited by Andr Bouchoule Universit d'Orlans, France Dusty Plasmas gives the reader a thorough overview of current knowledge on many aspects of the subject, from the basic science to technological implications. The basic physics and chemistry of dusty plasmas developed in the first two chapters are complemented by the more practical considerations of diagnostics and technological implications in the two final chapters. The book will be of interest to those already involved in or just discovering dusty plasmas in their research and/or industrial activity.

Plasma Physics: Basic Theory with Fusion Applications by Kyoji Nishikawa, ISBN 354065285X
This book presents a thorough treatment of plasma physics, beginning at an introductory level and proceeding to an extensive discussion of its applications in thermonuclear fusion research. The physics of fusion plasmas is explained mainly in relation to recent progress in tokamak research, but other plasma confinement schemes, such as stellarators and inertial confinement, are also described. The unique and systematic presentation will help readers to understand the overall structure of plasma theory.
