| Summary |
Annotation A reference that presents an extensive compilation of how sterilization methods (i.e., steam autoclave, gamma radiation, electron beam radiation, ethylene oxide, etc.) and other exposure media, incident to the sterilization process, affect the properties and characteristics of plastics and elastomers. Information is provided in graphical, tabular, and textual formats. The data provided ranges from a general overview of the compatibility of various plastics and elastomers to sterilization methods to detailed discussions and test results. There is a detailed glossary of terms, including descriptions of test methods, and a detailed presentation of source documentation. The volume also presents data on the resistance of plastics and elastomers to chemicals used in sterilization and to other fluids of medical significance.
