A "must have" for design/manufacturing engineers.......2000-02-12
I teach Product Design Engineering at Ohio State and I can honestly say that Bralla is absolutely the best single reference for working designers and manufacturing engineers that I've found. An incredible compendium of useful info on just about any manufacturing process you can think of, and plenty you HAVEN'T thought of, plus chapters on Design for Assembly, materials, economic considerations - you name it. The book is a bit pricey, but considering the amount of useful information packed into it, it's a steal. Bralla far exceeds McGraw-Hill's regrettably low standards for their handbooks - this one is a keeper!

Amazing Discoveries.......2007-09-10
This book seems to have it all. There seems to be an endless supply of information and how to apply it (Which it strongly implies in the first few pages). There is even a section at the end that shows you how to make a vacuum-forming machine in good detail and for the least amount of cost and bulk. If you are even remotely interested in making props or want to duplicate items in your own pad, buy this book.
Save money,build yerself.......2007-08-14
Real good.His teaching skills shine thru on every page.Very thorough coverage of everything from simple paper mache to building a vaccuum form machine and creating artificial biulding parts,breakaway glass,recycling old props and reusing polymerss time and time again.Excellent.
Much Ado about Molding and Casting...........2007-05-21
I wanted to review this book as I was recommended to buy it from outside of the Amazon.com usual circles. Understand I am a model builder (sorry according to some of my peer group an "assembler") and have always been interested in building my own custom "props" for sentimental and self-gratifying purposes only.....
I recommend this handbook on the foundation of it's knowledge. The handbook packs years of property making experience onto easy to read and photo specific pages and say's "NOW CREATE"....
I felt some things were lacking:
#1 New plastics that should be included or addendumed (New such as Wonderflex, Fun Foam, PVC etc. - For strengthening, vacum-forming, etc.)
#2 The "How to make a Vacum-Form Machine" is not as complete as it should be...- The article believes the reader to understand how to plan and design electrical circuitry...I wonder how many kids out there finished their oven....Hooked it up to an electrical wire with a plug in the end and get a surprise! Is electrical insulation or shrink tubing needed? (Are transformers or circuit breakers needed?) What is used for the electrical system (a car battery?) or wall plug? Why such a big space under the oven? (Then a simple 12 volt car battery, on/off switch and some wire may be all you need to make the oven....I really don't know but I will ask some experts.)
#3 Sections showing use of different materials tended to be very short and unclear....I really would love to have seen more examples in the use of "Fiber Glass" and "Paper-Maiche"....
All in all, the handbook is very helpful to me at my stage of beginning a new hobbie or building upon an old skill...after all I did make a wooden Star Trek Communicator and Phaser from scratch when I was 14 !
What a fantastic book.......2007-02-16
I've read many different books on the subject of molding and casting, and by far this is the most complete. Almost every practical approach is covered including plaster, paper mache, fiber glass and even vacuum molding with thermo plastic. Each step is clearly detailed and explained along with the appropriate warnings and cautions for hazardous material.
Not only does the author describe how to do each step, he takes the time to explain why you would use one technique over another. It is very obvious he has years of experience in the field.
If I had to criticize the book at all, it would be the strange two column layout. Instead of always reading down the column, it jumps across columns when there is a picture in the text.
You can buy this book with confidence and know that you will find the information you need inside.
A good book with an awkward layout.......2007-01-10
This book is pretty decent. It falls short in just one area:
The text layout is awkward. Multiple sections on many pages are oddly split using the bi-columnar format. I frequently found myself inadvertently jumping from one section to the next.
The sources for materials and supplies found in this book makes it worth the price in my opinion.
Book Description
Recent decades have seen an explosion of new applications of fluoropolymers in all aspects of human life, particularly in the chemical, electrical, and semiconductor industries. Properties of durability, inertness, low coefficient of friction, and high heat and chemical resistance are unmatched by any other family of plastics.
This is the second of a two volume series of books about fluoroplastics. Volume 1 covers the non-melt processible homopolymers, requiring non-traditional processing techniques. Volume 2 is devoted to the melt-processible fluoropolymers, their polymerization and fabrication techniques. Both a source of data and a reference, the properties, characterstics, applications, safety, disposal, and recycling of melt-processible fluoropolymers are comprehensively detailed for immediate use by practicing engineers and scientists in the plastics industry. Students will benefit from the book’s arrangement and extensive references.

Fluoroplastics Volume 2.......2003-10-27
This is a continuation of a previously published book on fluoroplastics by the same author. This volume covers the melt-processable fluoroplastics, one of the fastest growing segments of fluoropolymeric materials. The written material is very well and logically organized.
The book emphasizes the practical over theoretical, although it still covers relevant scientific principles involved in the synthesis of monomers, polymerization, properties and processing. Each melt-processing technology is introduced and very well explained. Additional topics covered are applications, safety, disposal and recycling of fluoropolymers. Numerous appendices contain test methods and technical properties of the commercial products, such as high temperature resistance, permeation etc. A comprehensive glossary is also included.
The ample references at the end of each chapter serve as a resource for more detailed reading on the given subject. There are numerous review papers included, which represent additional relevant resource for the reader.
Fluoroplastics, Volume 2 contains a wealth of useful information and quality data for the student, for the engineer in process or product development or for the scientist in industrial research and development or for the university teacher interested in technology. It is definitely the most comprehensive and informative work on the subject published so far.
Melt Processible Fluoroplastics.......2003-07-29
This is an excellent, thorough work covering this fast-growing segment of the polymer science and technology. Its title claims to be "The Definitive User's Guide and Databook" and it is just that. It covers everything from fundamentals, synthesis of monomers, polymerization, structure and properties and a large variety of essential processing and fabrication methods and applications pertaining to melt processable fluoropolymers. Although all chapters of the book are put together impeccably, those dealing with processing are the strongest ones. Each processing method is explained first and then the details applicable to fluoropolymers are discussed thoroughly. Seven appendices provide information on high temperature resistance, permeation properties of certain fluoroplastics, mechanical, thermal, electrical and physical properties of FEP films, and modulus data for fluoroplastics. A very thorough glossary and a list of trademarks are included and represent additional valuable resources for the reader.

Book Description
This first book dedicated to all aspects of the field presents our current knowledge in its entirety, covering the necessary disciplines and processes involved - from the monomer to the final product. With an international editor and author team from academia and such leading chemical companies as Bayer, BASF and DuPont, the text adopts a multidisciplinary approach and a practical point of view. Starting with polymer chemistry and thermodynamics, the book goes on to deal with measurement, control, and characterization, before tackling process development, safety issues, scale-up, and modeling. It concludes with emerging processes.
With its unparalleled depth of coverage, this will be the definitive reference on this topic for years to come.
The impulse for this book comes from the Working Party on Polymer Reaction Engineering of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, and internationally recognized experts from different fields in industry and academia have come together to put their knowledge in writing.
There is nothing like colleagues' comments to recommend a book:
'This handbook is an excellent idea since there is a gap in the literature expecially concerning the significant research and development that has recently been carried out in this field.'
'Authors and editors are active academic and industrial polymer reaction engineers - among the best in the field.'
'In my opinion there is a definite need because there is no similar publication available in English covering engineering aspects.'
