Processors and users of plastics often need to determine the chemical nature of a plastics specimen. This highly practical and useful manual, now in a fifth revised and supplemented edition, will enable you to determine the class of...

Major advancement has occurred in preparing useful polymer blends, in most cases using some form of compatibilization. While physical compatibilization using block copolymers was the technique of choice in the past, increasingly reactive...

This thorough text covers thermoforming processes and products. It moves from a relatively simple approach to more technical in-depth consideration, featuring examples and guidelines to illustrate all technical aspects. Contents: -...

Today, most molders, but also many mold makers specialize in certain areas. There are specialists for thin wall molding, screw caps, large beverage container crates, pre-forms for PET bottles, small gears, and many others. But regardless...

Whether working on product design or process optimization, engineers need a multitude of polymer property values. This book provides a quick reference on basic design data for resins, machines, parts, and processes, and shows how to...

This text/workbook covers the entire field of injection molding - from materials, to processing, to issues of occupational safety, and to the recycling of injection molded parts. Key questions help readers work through the lesson with...

Solid Phase Processing of Polymers provides a comprehensive up-to-date account of the solid phase processing of polymers with particular emphasis on the production of oriented polymers in the form of fibers, films, and solid sections,...

The origins of this book not only include Moldflow Design Principles, but also includes Warpage Design Principles published by Moldflow, and C-Mold Design Guide. Collectively, these documents are based on years of experience in the...

The successful coloring of plastic parts, beginning with the formulation of the color preparation and ending with the manufacture of the final product, is the result of the interaction of chemical, physical, and technological factors....

This book describes the composition of all major types of polymer compounds, both thermoplastics as well as rubbers. It describes the intended effects of various additives and the complexity of their, sometimes unintended, interactions....

The book is intended to reveal the correlation between the chemical structure and the physical characteristics of plastics necessary for appropriate material selection, design, and processing. The entire spectrum of plastics is...

Thermal analysis has proven to be one of the most important and meaningful test methods in the plastics industry and in testing laboratories. Although thermal analysis is used for fundamental studies related to materials science of...
