In this single handbook, the editors aim to give a diverse audience of readers a complete account of all aspects of PVC - from monomer manufacture to polymerization; the gamut of such additives as stabilizers, lubricants, plasticizers,...

Polyolefins, the polymers synthesized from olefinic monomers, are the major commercial thermoplastics. They are also important elastomers and the components of major thermoplastic elastomers. Polyethylene and polypropylene in volume are...

Thermoplastic elastomers are one of the fastest growing material groups. They can be processed like thermoplastics but their properties are close to those of vulcanized elastomers. New products, new processing techniques, new properties,...

Describing all classes of polymeric foams, including their chemistry, synthesis, commercial production methods, properties, and applications, this handbook is designed to support engineers in their effort to develop practical solutions...

Every successful manufacturer of blow molded products faces the challenge of utilizing advanced techniques which demand an understanding of the different plastic melt flow behaviors, operational monitoring and control systems, testing...

Stepped guidelines are supplied for the design of molds, from product drawing to complete mold assembly. Emphasis is given to the relationship between mold performance, productivity, and mold life. Contents: Mold Engineering. Basic Mold...

Economic success in the plastics processing industry depends on the quality, precision, and reliability of its most common tool: the injection mold. Consequently, misjudgments in design and mistakes in the manufacturing of molds can...

Composites have been acclaimed to be the "Materials of the Future". Advanced polymer composites, once destined for stealth military aircraft or aerospace uses, are beginning to be used in down-to-earth structures such as bridges,...

This book combines in one source an introduction to rheology, a discussion of quality management, and a presentation of the statistical tools required for the treatment of experimental data. These topics are well integrated, and special...

One of the outstanding advantages of TPE's can be summarized in a single phrase: They allow rubberlike articles to be produced using the rapid processing techniques developed by the thermoplastic industry. The commercial development of...

Running Today's Factory by Charles Standard and Dale Davis presents a proven approach to manufacturing management using scientific reasoning, clever analogies, and practical case examples. It strips away the mystery of lean manufacturing...

A highly versatile process, rotational molding allows for incredible design flexibility with the added benefit of low production costs. One of its advantages over other plastics processes is that one can mold more complex shapes with...
