The plastics engineer working on the shop floor in a plastics manufacturing plant often needs quick answers to questions such as why the extruder output is low or whether he can expect better quality product by changing the resin or if...

The book brings together the detailed knowledge of structure and morphology of the main classes of polymers, including commodities as well as special polymers, with explanation of the mechanical properties, processes, and mechanisms on...

This book provides the beginning engineer with the principles of rubber science and technology: what rubber is, how it behaves, and how to design engineering components with rubber. It introduces the reader to the principles on which...

The book covers the major aspects of rubber compounding. For the first time, the reader will find all relevant issues, whether it is machine design, process technology, or material parameters, covered in one comprehensive volume. -...

The manufacturing process for preparing very thin polymer products has developed into what is arguably the largest outlet for synthetic polymers. The central theme of this volume is the developments in process hardware and operating...

Dependency and Structure Modelling (DSM) techniques support the management of complexity by focusing attention on the elements of a complex system and how they are related to each other. The DSM perspective can assist in understanding,...

Fundamentals of Press Brake Tooling provides insights into properly designing parts that can be formed using a press brake, and it will give the reader a basic understanding of what must be considered in selecting proper tooling,...

The goal of the book is to assist the designer in the development of parts that are functional, reliable, manufacturable, and aesthetically pleasing. Since injection molding is the most widely used manufacturing process for the...

As part of its comprehensive treatment of this complex technology, this volume distinguishes between the different types of commercially available twin screw extruders and clearly describes their capabilities. It examines the...

This book has established itself as a standard reference for everyone dealing with statistical problems in industrial production. The focus is put on the application of the procedures required for machine acceptance and process...

The book covers chemistry of thermoset elastomers, but only to the extent needed for understanding how to process them through a manufacturing environment and how they react in various manufacturing methods. The focus of the book is to...

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...
