• Explains new testing strategies for providing service-pertinent data within a limited budget.

• Relates the structure of tests and functions that they serve to the intrinsic nature of the mechanical properties of thermoplastic materials.

Mechanical Evaluation Strategies for Plastic Materials explains new testing strategies for providing service-pertinent data within a limited budget. It relates the structure of the tests and the functions that they serve to the intrinsic nature of the mechanical properties of thermoplastic materials.
