Describes the primary polymer adhesion issues faced by manufacturers, processors, and converters, to outline a variety of methods for attaining an appropriately activated surface, and to provide the diagnostics for various adhesion promotion issues, with troubleshooting guidelines.

Organises and presents all design aspects of snap-fits with an emphasis on the systems level thinking required to create world-class attachments. Beginning, as well as experienced, product designers will find the information they need to develop snap-fits more efficiently and avoid many common snap-fit problems.

Introduces the reader to the concepts of Scientific Molding and Scientific Processing for Injection Molding, geared towards developing a robust, repeatable, and reproducible (3Rs) molding process. The effects of polymer morphology, thermal transitions, drying, and rheology on the injection molding process are explained in detail.

Aimed at engineering students, engineers, and technologists of the packaging industry, this book provides the essentials of polymer packaging. It provides the reader with the knowledge and skills to identify and solve problems in packaging processes, and thereby develop functional packaging. Sales and marketing people involved in the packaging industry will also find this a valuable resource.

This updated edition provides an overview of flame retardants that are in commercial use, were recently used, or are in development. The book is organised polymer-by-polymer and provides a guide to advantages, limitations, and patented and patent-free formulations, with insight into favourable and unfavourable combinations.

The widespread use of large scale units for manufacturing blown film, blow-molded articles, flat film, and extruded pipes necessitates troubleshooting on site. This book provides practical computational tools which can be applied easily on the shop floor to obtain quick solutions in these and many other areas of polymer extrusion.

Offers a unique and readable introduction to the field of textile engineering. This book is based on an elementary level course focusing on the manufacture (processes and machines) of yarn, fabric, knitwear, nonwovens, braids, reinforcing fabrics, and technical textiles, but also provides technicians and engineers with an up-to-date review of processes and equipment for textile manufacturing.

Offers a comprehensive insight into the state of the art in 3D- molded interconnect device (MID) technology along the entire process chain. Individual chapters deal with systematics of targeted development of MID parts and explore, with a dozen and more successful series-production applications as examples, the widely diverse fields of application for MID technology.

Rubber compounding is a very complex endeavour. There are many interactions and many ways to achieve the target properties and economic goals while maintaining an acceptable trade-off for these characteristics. This book is dedicated to providing the reader with various experimental ideas which may guide him or her to developing better compounds and solving technical problems.

Provides a current overview of the chemical supply chain for the global rubber industry. The book also reviews the present and future international changes and their effects on this chemical supply chain for rubber producers, compounding ingredient manufacturers, custom mixers, rubber fabricators, molders, extruders and others.

Deals with manufacturing processes for preparing very thin polymer products. This is a technically oriented book to be used by film processing professionals, graduate students, and researchers and covers recent technologies of film extrusion, extruder screw design, die design, film structure, film temperature, crystallization dynamics, and film properties.

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 plastic of a particular specimen. No extensive knowledge of chemistry is required and yet it is more complex than a simple tabular compilation.

With 588 images and associated analyses for avoidance of damage to plastics, this manual is aimed at both professionals and students. Many technical terms and colloquial descriptions, explanations, and interconnections with related areas, together with the images, facilitate the reader in determining and describing the exact type of damage of a given sample.

Covers: Basic Principles - historical background, basic material properties, molecular structure, and thermal properties; Influence of Processing on Properties - tying processing and design by discussing rheology of polymer melts, mixing and processing, and development of anisotropy; and Engineering Design Properties - the different properties to be considered when designing a polymer component.

Initially published "to bridge the gap between theory and practice in extrusion", this fifth edition of Polymer Extrusion continues to serve the practicing polymer engineer and chemist, providing the theoretical and the practical tools for successful extrusion operations. In its revised and expanded form, it also incorporates the latest developments in extrusion theory and machinery.

An essential resource for the plastics engineer who handles the design and construction of tools for different processing methods, from injection molding and blow molding, to prototyping tools, including their computer-aided design. This edition has been completely updated with new chapters including micro injection molds, molds for the rubber industry, and rapid prototyping.

Provides a background in polymer rheology to both engineering students and practicing engineers. The book includes sufficient technical information and practical examples to enable the reader to understand the complex rheological behaviour of polymers, to make the right decisions regarding rheological testing methods, and to troubleshoot rheology related problems encountered in polymer processing.

Oriented towards the practitioner, in this book the basics of additive manufacturing are presented and the properties and special aspects of industrially available machines are discussed. From the generation of data to the forming method, the complete process chain is shown in a practical light.

Improvement of injection molding processes remains a topic of great interest in both industry and research institutions. This book introduces the analysis of the molding process from a systems technology point of view.

Focuses on heat-treating by ASM, SME, and AISI standards. The manual has been created for use in student education, as well as to guide professionals. It is written without the typical metallurgical jargon. This book will serve as a training manual in learning how to heat treat a metal, and serve as a day to day reference.
