Description
Polymer Degradation and Stabilization (1984) is a scientific work that explores how and why polymers (plastics and related materials) break down over time, and the methods used to prevent or slow this degradation. The book discusses the mechanisms behind polymer degradation, such as chemical, thermal, and environmental factors, and details the scientific principles and practical approaches for stabilizing polymers to extend their useful life. It reflects the transition of polymer stabilization from an empirical art to a more rigorous science as understanding of degradation mechanisms has advanced. This book is considered as a foundational text on oxidative degradation mechanisms stabilization techniques critical for enhancing material durability.

Very detailed and accurate description. I selected the purchase based on the specificity of the description, which addressed the appearance and (lack of) smell of the item—normally sellers don’t mention smell, but it is very important for purchasing very old books, so I appreciated that the seller specifically stated the book had a clean smell (and that the description was accurate). The item was carefully packaged and shipping was fast. Thank you!

I received an out of print book at a very nice price. Very carefully packaged and the book arrived earlier than estimated and in exactly the condition described in the initial listing. Highly recommend this seller for antique books. The seller really carefully handles the books and as someone also selling collectibles on eBay, it is nice to see other sellers carefully package items.

This book is exactly as described and as shown in the pictures! It's a gorgeous, almost 200-year old book that I feel like I got for an incredibly low price. The book was packaged carefully to ensure no damage was done on the way and was shipped out very quickly! Super happy with this purchase and would definitely buy from this seller again!!!!! :)
