For powder metallurgists who haven't heard about this, there is a book
that explains both theory and practice for optimizing the organic
chemicals used to injection mold or dry press metals (or ceramics).
These organics include binders, dispersants, plasticizers, solvents,
defoamers, etc. The book also includes easy-to-read tutorials on
organic chemistry, polymers, and colloids.
