The injection molding industry has a new, up-to-date, comprehensive handbook: the Injection Molding Handbook thoroughly covers the injection molding machine and process. This all-encompassing resource presents a well-rounded overview of the underlying theory governing the various injection molding processes without losing its practical flavor.

From the Preface: “...The handbook presents a thorough, up-to-date view of injection molding processing equipment and techniques, with fundamental information on the chemistry, physics, material science, and process engineering. It also covers topics that directly affect the injection molding process, such as injection molding materials, process control, simulation, design, and troubleshooting...”

Target Audience: Engineers, processors, researchers, and other professionals with various levels of technical background who are concerned with the injection molding process; also ideal as a textbook for students of injection molding.
