Powder bed-based additive manufacturing with polymers (PBF-P) has a special position in the world of 3D printing. On the one hand, the components are manufactured without support structures, and on the other hand, the property profile of the components is similar to that of series components, as is also known from injection molding, but with clear advantages in terms of component complexity.In laser sintering (LS), individual component layers are fused with the aid of suitable laser radiation. In recent years, LS components have gained widespread use in industrial applications, so that today one can already speak of an established technology. Nevertheless, there are still many hurdles for LS to overcome in the future in order to free itself from the status of a niche technology. Material diversity and industry-compliant, quality-assurance measures are among the challenges to be mentioned here.To this end, the second edition of this book sheds light on the current state of the art in terms of machine technology and process flow, and specifically on the requirements for the materials used. In addition, the following topics are presented: - Implementation of LS in industrial process chains- Status of international standardization- Innovations in the field of LS materials- Properties of LS components- Selected application examplesThe second edition has been updated throughout; in particular, the material and machine specifications have been extensively revised.

Data Science, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence are currently some of the most talked-about concepts in industry, government, and society, and yet also the most misunderstood. This book will clarify these concepts and provide the practical knowledge to apply them.

Successful coloration of plastics is a challenging exercise, requiring deep understanding of chemical, physical, and technological factors, as well as national and international regulations. Customer and regulatory demands are often very high, concerning toxicity, environmental factors, color specification/matching, stability, and cost, among others. This book enables the reader to identify the right color preparation for a particular product application, accounting for material and design.With many processing tips for the practitioner, this book enables the efficient production of successful colored plastic products. It is the ideal companion to colorists, chemists, chemical engineers, laboratory technicians, engineers, engineering technicians, designers, and product developers who work with plastics, as well as an excellent introduction to the subject for students and their teachers.

Plastics production comprises the main process steps 'synthesis (reaction)', 'preparation/compounding' at the raw material manufacturer and compounder, and 'processing' (shaping into semi-finished or finished products). In this handbook, the central middle step, preparation and compounding, is discussed.

Rheology is applied extensively in polymer, chemical, food processing, and related industries. This book combines the basic concepts and applications by presenting a balanced overview of the principles. With simplified analysis of complex problems, this textbook format provides easy understanding for both students and practicing professionals.

Demonstrates the influence and mutual interaction of the parameters involved in the production of fiber composite components. The book gives an overview of the current state of prepreg technology generation and development, as well as their variations and trends.

Plastic materials continue to play a vital and growing role in packaging applications. It is thus more important than ever that all involved in the packaging industry command a basic understanding of the properties of the common packaging plastics. This highly regarded book provides just that to students and packaging professionals alike.

Plastics flammability is a highly important consideration in many industries, including construction, mass transportation, and electrical and electronic equipment. This comprehensive handbook is unrivalled as the definitive source of information on the reaction of plastics to fire, as well as on the relevant regulations and testing methods.

In the rubber industry, one of the most widely practiced processes is the reinforcement of rubber by particulate fillers, especially carbon black and silica. This book covers the most important theoretical and practical aspects of rubber reinforcement.

Describes, in clear understandable language, the three main disciplines of adhesion technology: the mechanics of the adhesive bond; the chemistry of adhesives; and surface science. Some knowledge of physical and organic chemistry is assumed, but no familiarity with the science of adhesion is required.

Shows the true and often-underestimated market potential of plastics recycling, with analysis from economic, ecological, and technical perspectives. The book is aimed at both technical and non-technical readers, including decision makers in material suppliers, plastic product manufacturers, governmental agencies, educators, and anyone with a gener

Serves as a key guide for designers, organizations, governments, companies, or anybody else with an interest in a sustainable future. Ecodesign is explained for what it is and how it fits with the necessity for a sustainable planet; it is shown to be a coherent and practical process; and the impact of the ecodesign approach is elaborated.

This compact glossary in eight languages (English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese) contains more than 2300 terms related to the chemistry, properties, testing, and processing of plastic materials. It was created to help bridge the language barriers within the international plastics manufacturing community.

Provides a necessary bridge between the values of engineering end-use parameters of polyethylene resins and their scientific molecular and structural characteristics. The main goal is to translate such common parameters into the universal language of polymer science.

Provides a hands-on approach to making carbon fibers and their composites for those who need to use these materials. The book gives an excellent overview of the chemical and physical properties of carbon fibers and their composites. In addition, common test and analysis methods for demonstrating these properties are presented.

Provides a sophisticated insight into the development of the plastics industry in terms of digitalization and Industry 4.0. The background to these topics is discussed along with provision of the prerequisite knowledge regarding process complexity and modeling as well as data acquisition to build the foundation of data driven digital processes.
