By better understanding material proper- ties and the effects of processing on performance, one can make better de- sign choices and material selection. Understanding how the chemical and physical characteristics of polymers are affected by the design and process parameters leads one to better end products. Optimizing mold design, flow conditions, fiber type, orienta- tion, and process conditions result in improved physical properties of the fi- nal part. This applications-oriented book reveals the necessary materials, design, and process conditions neces- sary to obtain desired properties. This book is filled with practical ex- amples intended not only to show the reader the “how to,” but to add physi- cal understanding. It clearly shows common techniques used to produce various plastics and how the effects of temperature, fiber reinforcement, wa- ter absorption, crosslinking, aging, plus many others factors affect the physical properties. The book is loaded with many photographs of microtomed and etched sections of plastics that illustrate how the physical properties of a polymer are altered and what physical changes actually occur. The book provides a quick way to learn about the practical aspects of polymers and the parameters that are important to an applications engineer. Coverage includes molecular structure and syn- thesis of polymers, polymer structure, thermomechanical properties, me- chanical behavior, aging, and stabiliza- tion. All types of polymers including thermosets, thermoplastics, elasto- mers, and blends are covered. The author does an excellent job at clearly showing the practical side of polymer characteristics. Application engineers involved with plastic materi- als will find this book to provide valu- able insight into polymer characteris- tics allowing for optimization and good material selection.

Being elegant and the most advanced form of photo-conversion, PV cells have the promise of a renew- able and clean energy source. Cell effi- ciency has been seeing tremendous growth, especially in the past 13 years, with efficiencies near 30%, high long-term stability, and lower fabrica- tion costs make PV poised for a signifi- cant market expansion in the near term.
This text, Clean Electricity from Photovoltaics, describes all aspects of PV technology from the history, tech- nical fundamentals, fabrication, all the types of PV cells, and the business as- pects and outlook for the PV market. The book begins with the history of PV development, charting the progress of PV development from its origins to the present. There are graphs showing the evolution of cell efficiency over the years made by various companies using a variety of materials. The majority of the book covers the technical details regarding PVs. This ranges from the in- timate details of device physics, cell de- sign, crystalline and amorphous silicon cells, cadmium telluride cells, Cu (In, Ga) Se
2 cells, super-high-efficiency cells, organic cells, quantum well cells, and concentrator systems. Not only are the theoretical aspects covered in detail but a good blend of practical consideration is also given in each chapter. Photos and text describe how cells are made by various manufac- tures, and graphs show their perfor- mance. The book continues with appli- cations for PV cells in space, storage considerations (options, kinetic en- ergy, hydrogen storage, batteries, and capacitors), and large PV modules and arrays for generating power for the res- idential, industrial, and commercial applications. The final chapters review the business aspects of PVs. The au- thors review the PV industry in gen- eral, production growth, the future market and the economics of PV appli- cations. The book ends with a look at the future of PVs. With a broad range of coverage, many references in each chapter, and an appendix listing useful quantities, factors and symbols, this book would 46 IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine B O O K R E V I E W S V i e w p u b l i c a t i o n s t a t s V i e w p u b l i c a t i o n s t a t s Download 203.67 Kb.
