Plastics without additives are not viable. Additives are essential to make plastics processable and to assure their end-use properties. Over the last decade the demands on additives have continued to evolve, not only because of changes...

The book gives a state-of-art overview on all aspects of micro- and nanomechanics of polymers, polymeric blends, and composites. Major issues tackled include experimental techniques to study the mechanical performance of polymer systems,...

Finally available again in its second edition, this classic covers everything from the basic principles to the various practical applications of state-of-the-art mixing and compounding. Part I: Mechanisms and Theory Basic Concepts -...

This book attempts to survey the state of the science and technology of the injection molding process. It represents a comprehensive, balanced mix of practical and theoretical aspects for a wide range of injection molding applications....

Modern thermoforming practice is a balance of practical experience and the application of engineering principles. This very practical book introduces the process, its tools and machinery, and the commonly used materials to novices and...

The intention of this book is to teach SPC and its application to specific processes in an integrated fashion. Many SPC training programs are taught by people that are very familiar with statistics but know little about plastics...

The injection molding industry has a new, up-to-date, comprehensive handbook. Serving engineers, professionals, and others involved in this important industry sector, the handbook thoroughly covers every detail of the machine and the...

This introduction provides an overview of the injection molding process and all its related aspects, such as material behavior, machine and mold design. Although the book is highly useful to advanced professionals, it is written in...

The focus of Understanding Blow Molding is on hands-on practical applications, which will benefit those new to the plastic blow molding industry, as well as those who are experienced but may not have been exposed to all facets of a blow...

This unique volume covers the results of the world-wide efforts to implement natural polymers as engineering plastics and the use of their inherent properties. The processing opportunities and the applications of the natural materials as...

This handbook was written for the injection molding product designer who has a limited knowledge of engineering polymers. It is a guide for the designer to decide which resin and design geometries to use for the design of plastic parts....

Quality and profitability of injection molding operations can be considerably influenced by the hot runner system. The many variations and design principles of hot runners are material-dependent and therefore not universally applicable....
