✦ Synopsis
BOOK REVIEWS 71
in everyday applications, many data are provided on the physical, chemical, mechanical, and electrical properties. The correlation is shown between these properties and the effects of various curing agents on performance.
Several chapters have been devoted to the different uses of epoxy resins in adhesives, laminates, castings, sealants, encapsulations, and coatings. Besides having supplied sample formulations for each use, the authors have discussed the various ramifications encountered in application techniques. The general quality of this book is exemplified in the chapter on Plasticizers and Flexibillzers. Herein they make the distinction between the two types of compounds and show how various materials are used in these capacities and their effects on performance.
Wisely enough, the authors have included a chapter on a topic which is becoming more and more prominent, "Handling Methods and Safety Precautions."
