Films comprise around 25% of all plastics used worldwide, around 40 million tons, and are thus a massive market sector. Commodity plastics dominate, with polyethylene and polypropylene together accounting for around 34 million tons. This is an expanding area with increased demand each year particularly in the developing regions of the world and with a move from rigid to flexible packaging. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many material types used in films from single layer polymers to multilayer structures with tie layers and copolymers. Multilayers permit custom adaptation of material properties from barrier to strength. Technology, such as the orientation of polypropylene, has produced better properties and more valuable materials. High performance plastics are also being used in applications such as telectronics. The different materials in use in films are reviewed in this market report. There are details of the main suppliers including mergers and capacity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms can be made via a number of converting processes: extrusion, coextrusion, casting, extrusion coating, extrusion laminating and metallising. Blown extrusion was the first process used to make films of polyethylene. These processes have advantages and disadvantages depending on the material type in use, the width and thickness of film required. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms are mainly used in packaging for foodstuffs, but there are also substantial market segments for medical, electronic, automotive and construction applications. Specific applications include decorative wrap, form-fill-seal, blood bags, flexible printed circuits, bed sheeting, diapers, and in-mould decorating of car parts (to replace painting and provide a more durable surface coating). Carrier bags and garbage bags are big markets, with imports to Europe; there are environmental concerns about the use of plastic bags and these are discussed in the report. In construction, films are used in glazing, damp proofing, tarpaulins, geomembranes and similar applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePE and PP are the main materials used in packaging films. PET is primarily used in magnetics, optics, and telectronics. PVC is found in consumer goods and medical applications, while PVB is mainly used in automotive and construction applications as glazing protection. Multimaterial films account for around 7 million tons of the films produced, with around 95% of this going into packaging applications. These are just some of the examples listed in this market report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEurope and North America each account for about 30% of the total world consumption of plastic films. The plastic films supply structure and individual company information are summarised in the second half of this market report on Plastic Films in Europe and the Rest of the World.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Geographical Focus\u003cbr\u003e1.2 Flexible Materials Under Study\u003cbr\u003e1.3

Films comprise around 25% of all plastics used worldwide, around 40 million tons, and are thus a massive market sector. Commodity plastics dominate, with polyethylene and polypropylene together accounting for around 34 million tons. This is an expanding area with increased demand each year particularly in the developing regions of the world and with a move from rigid to flexible packaging. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many material types used in films from single layer polymers to multilayer structures with tie layers and copolymers. Multilayers permit custom adaptation of material properties from barrier to strength. Technology, such as the orientation of polypropylene, has produced better properties and more valuable materials. High performance plastics are also being used in applications such as telectronics. The different materials in use in films are reviewed in this market report. There are details of the main suppliers including mergers and capacity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms can be made via a number of converting processes: extrusion, coextrusion, casting, extrusion coating, extrusion laminating and metallising. Blown extrusion was the first process used to make films of polyethylene. These processes have advantages and disadvantages depending on the material type in use, the width and thickness of film required. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilms are mainly used in packaging for foodstuffs, but there are also substantial market segments for medical, electronic, automotive and construction applications. Specific applications include decorative wrap, form-fill-seal, blood bags, flexible printed circuits, bed sheeting, diapers, and in-mould decorating of car parts (to replace painting and provide a more durable surface coating). Carrier bags and garbage bags are big markets, with imports to Europe; there are environmental concerns about the use of plastic bags and these are discussed in the report. In construction, films are used in glazing, damp proofing, tarpaulins, geomembranes and similar applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePE and PP are the main materials used in packaging films. PET is primarily used in magnetics, optics, and telectronics. PVC is found in consumer goods and medical applications, while PVB is mainly used in automotive and construction applications as glazing protection. Multimaterial films account for around 7 million tons of the films produced, with around 95% of this going into packaging applications. These are just some of the examples listed in this market report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEurope and North America each account for about 30% of the total world consumption of plastic films. The plastic films supply structure and individual company information are summarised in the second half of this market report on Plastic Films in Europe and the Rest of the

These new regulations and new product developments caused changes in plasticizer production and applications.\u003cbr\u003eSince 2004, 498 plasticizers included in the previous edition of Plasticizer Database were discontinued.

Plasticizer Database V.3 is the largest database on plasticizers ever published. The information about its contents is given below.\u003cbr\u003eThe plasticizer database was developed to contain data required in plasticizers application. Attempts were made to include a large number of plasticizers used in various sectors of industry to provide information for all users and to help in finding new solutions and formulations. Plasticizers included in the database can be divided into two categories: generic chemical name compounds and commercial plasticizers which are either mixture of several components, industrial grades of the particular compound, polymeric materials, or products having unknown, complex composition. In most cases, plasticizers differ from solvents by boiling point, which is above 250oC, but some plasticizers are used as temporary plasticizers or are expected to react with other components of the mixture. These substances will not meet the boiling temperature criterion but will still be included since they play the role of plasticizers.

Information on the selected plasticizer can be accessed by clicking on any of the above tabs. The database has a large number of data fields to accommodate a variety of data available in source publications. The description of general sections below gives more detail on the composition of information. The displayed information contains plasticizer name and its chemical structure.

The most common is to search name. In this case, the program searches through the list of synonyms and proposes choices. Search finds plasticizers by typing the first letter or two of their name which moves list to the location of a searched compound. Plasticizers can also be searched by CAS number, empirical formula, or any other property, or simply by browsing the list. In addition to searching capability and viewing data on individual plasticizers, plasticizers can be sorted according to values of any property. This operation is accomplished by clicking the property tab and selection of the required search term from a pull-down menu. The operation returns a selection of plasticizers for which data exist for the selected property. The plasticizer property can be viewed on the screen and used for evaluation of plasticizer suitability for the chosen task or plasticizer selection for application as well as plasticizer comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe above description shows that operation of the database is so simple that it does not require any computer skills. The appropriate computer for database use is a PC-based computer operating under Windows XP or higher. The program contains operation manual which explains further details of the operation. In summary, the database is a very powerful tool, because it contains the most extensive data available on a large number of plasticizers. The database is an excellent companion to the \u003ca href=\"..\/proddetail.php?prod=1-895198-29-1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandbook of Plasticizers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e because data in the database do not repeat information or data included in the book.

Attempts were made to include a large number of plasticizers used in various sectors of industry to provide information for all users and to help in finding new solutions and formulations. Plasticizers included in the database can be divided into two categories: generic chemical name compounds and commercial plasticizers which are either mixture of several components, industrial grades of the particular compound, polymeric materials, or products having unknown, complex composition. In most cases, plasticizers differ from solvents by boiling point, which is above 250oC, but some plasticizers are used as temporary plasticizers or are expected to react with other components of the mixture. These substances will not meet the boiling temperature criterion but will still be included since they play the role of plasticizers. A large number of the plasticizers and the data fields makes this database the most comprehensive database on plasticizers ever available in any source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plasticizer database is divided into five general sections: General information, Physical properties, Health \u0026amp; safety, Ecological properties, and Use \u0026amp; performance. Information on the selected plasticizer can be accessed by clicking on any of the above tabs. The database has a large number of data fields to accommodate a variety of data available in source publications. The description of general sections below gives more detail on the composition of information. The displayed information contains plasticizer name and its chemical structure. The data can be viewed on screen and printed in a predefined format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/b\u003e section the following data are displayed: name, CAS #, IUPAC name, Common name, Common synonyms, Acronym, Empirical Formula, Molecular mass, RTECS Number, Chemical Category, Mixture, EC number, Ester Content, Phosphorus Content, Bromine Content, Solids Content, Oxirane Oxygen Content, Paraffinic Content, Naphthenic Content, Moisture Content, Chlorine Content, Bound Acrylonitrile, Sulfur Content, Butadiene Content, Aromatic Carbon, Total Aromatic Content, and Hydroxyl Number.\u003cbr\u003ePhysical Properties section contains data on State, Odor, Color (Gardner, Saybolt, and Platinum-cobalt scales), Boiling point, Melting point, Freezing point, Pour point, Iodine Value, Refractive indices at different temperatures, Specific gravity at different temperatures, Density at different temperatures, Vapor pressure at different temperatures, Coefficients of Antoine equation, Temperature range of accuracy of Antoine equation, Vapor Density, Volume Resistivity, Acid number, Acidity(acetic acid), Saponification value, pH, Viscosity at different temperatures, Kinematic viscosity at different temperatures, Absolute viscosity at 25C, Surface tension at different temperatures, Solubility in water, and Water solubility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHealth \u0026amp; Safety\u003c\/b\u003e data section contains data on NFPA Classification, Canadian WHMIS Classification, HMIS Personal Protection, OSHA Hazard Class, UN Risk Phrases, US Safety Phrases, UN\/NA Class, DOT Class, ADR\/RIC Class, ICAO\/IATA Class, IMDG Class, Food Approval(s), Autoignition Temperature, Flash Point, Flash Point Method, Explosive LEL, Explosive UEL, TLV - TWA 8h (ACGIH, NIOSH, OSHA), Max Exposure Concentration NIOSH-IDLH, Toxicological Information, acute, Rat oral LD50, Mouse oral LD50, Rabbit dermal LD50, Dermal LD50 (guinea pig), LD50 dermal rat, Inhalation, LC50, (rat, mouse, 4h (mist)), Skin irritation, Eye irritation (human), Carcinogenicity, Teratogenicity, and Mutagenicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEcological Properties\u003c\/b\u003e section includes Biological Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Theoretical Oxygen Demand, Biodegradation probability, Aquatic toxicity LC50 (Rainbow trout, Bluegill sunfish, Sheepshead minnow, Fathead minnow, and Daphnia magna), and Partition coefficients (log Koc and log Kow).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse \u0026amp; Performance\u003c\/b\u003e section contains the following information: Manufacturer, Recommended for Polymers, Recommended for Products, Outstanding Properties, Limiting Oxygen Index, Tensile Strength at different concentrations of plasticizer, Ultimate Elongation at different concentrations of plasticizer, Elastic Elongation, 100% Modulus at different concentrations of plasticizer, Brittle Temperature at different concentrations of plasticizer, Low Temperature Flexibility at different concentrations of plasticizer, Clash-Berg at different concentrations of plasticizer, Shore A Hardness at different concentrations of plasticizer, and Volatility at different concentrations of plasticizer and different temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSearch is a simple process which can be done in several ways. The most common is to search name. In this case, the program searches through the list of synonyms and proposes choices. Search finds plasticizers by typing the first letter or two of their name which moves list to the location of a searched compound. Plasticizers can also be searched by CAS number, empirical formula, or any other property, or simply by browsing the list. In addition to searching capability and viewing data on individual plasticizers, plasticizers can be sorted according to values of any property. This operation is accomplished by clicking the property tab and selection of the required search term from a pull-down menu. The operation returns a selection of plasticizers for which data exist for the selected property. The plasticizer property can be viewed on the screen and used for evaluation of plasticizer suitability for the chosen task or plasticizer selection for application as well as plasticizer comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe above description shows that operation of the database is so simple that it does not require any computer skills. The appropriate computer for database use is a PC-based computer operating under Windows XP or higher. The program contains operation manual which explains further details of the operation. In summary, the database is a very powerful tool, because it contains the most extensive data available on a large number of plasticizers. The database is an excellent companion to the \u003ca href=\"..\/proddetail.php?prod=1-895198-29-1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandbook of Plasticizers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e because data in the database do not repeat information or data included in the book. The number of data currently available makes a presentation of the data in the traditional format of a printed book unsuitable for fast accessing of the information and in this case difficult to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nAnna Wypych, born in 1937, studied chemical engineering and polymer chemistry and obtained M.

Such methods, discussed in the book, include practical risk analysis, failure mode and effect analysis, preliminary hazard analysis, progressive failure analysis, fault tree analysis, mean time between failures, Wohler curves, finite element analysis, cohesive zone model, crack propagation kinetics, time-temperature collectives, quantitative characterization of fatigue damage, and fracture maps. These methods are broadly used in some industries such as automotive industry and can be successfully applied to other industries.\u003cbr\u003eMethods of failure analysis are critical to for material improvement and they are broadly discussed in this book. Fractography of plastics is relatively a new field, which has many commonalities with fractography of metals. Here various aspects of fractography of plastics and metals are compared and contrasted. Fractography application in studies of static and cycling loading of ABS is also discussed. Other methods include SEM, SAXS, FTIR, DSC, DMA, GC\/MS, optical microscopy, fatigue behavior, multi-axial stress, residual stress analysis, punch resistance, creep-rupture, impact, oxidative induction time, craze testing, defect analysis, fracture toughness, the activation energy of degradation.\u003cbr\u003eConsidering that product joints are the most common sites of failure this subject is analyzed in detail. Snap-fit joints failure of plastic housing is analyzed aiming at the improvement of product reliability by the redesign of the method of joining. Multiply welding effect on materials durability is discussed for a broad range of temperatures of processing and performance. Effect of hot plate welding on weld properties and morphology is considered in the comparison of different methods of testing. Mechanical fasteners are investigated under mechanical loads and temperature variations.\u003cbr\u003eMany products have ductile properties or necking behavior which are another frequent cause of failure discussed here. Fatigue properties and fatigue failure mechanisms are discussed in detail since they cause many materials to fail. \u003cbr\u003eMany references are given in this book to real products and real cases of their failure. The products discussed include office equipment, automotive compressed fuel gas system, pipes, polymer blends, blow molded parts, layered, cross-ply and continuous fiber composites, printed circuits, electronic packages, hip implants, blown and multi-layered films, construction materials, component housings, brake cups, composite pressure vessels, swamp coolers, electrical cables, plumbing fittings, medical devices, medical packaging, strapping tapes, balloons, marine coatings, thermal switches, pressure relief membranes, pharmaceutical products, window profiles, and bone cements.\u003cbr\u003eMany common methods of material analysis are compared in this book. For example, the effect of internal pressure and testing of tensile properties, factors affecting Gardner impact testing, standard test procedures for structural analysis, methods of exposure of materials to the multidimensional state of stress, and many other.\u003cbr\u003eAttention is given to material morphology and its development during processing as a practical means of material improvement. Orientation effects during welding processes are analyzed in detail. Also, morphological changes of fatigue-induced damage are evaluated for crystalline polymers.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, many different polymers are analyzed here such as polyethylene (LDPE, HDPE, UHMWPE), polypropylene, polyamide, polyoxymethylene, epoxy resins, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyketone terpolymer, polyimide, polycarbonate, polyurethane, aliphatic copolymers, EPDM, ABS, vinyl ester, aromatic polyamide, polyester, polymethylmethacrylate, polyetherimide\u003cbr\u003eThe book also contains examples of defect cost analysis which shows that improvement of product quality by the above discussed methods is a very economical means of process engineering and technology selection. Some chapters contain a discussion of 10 common pitfalls in thin-wall plastic part design and outline of strategies for the evaluation of weather induced failure of polymers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Practical Risk Analysis—As a Tool for Minimizing Plastic Product Failure\u003cbr\u003e• Avoiding the GIGO Syndrome\u003cbr\u003e• Defect Analysis and High Density Polyethylene Pipe Durability\u003cbr\u003e• Progressive Failure Analysis of Fiber Composite Structures\u003cbr\u003e• Failure Analysis Models for Polyacetal Molded Fittings in Plumbing Systems\u003cbr\u003e• Estimation of Time-Temperature-Collectives in Describing Aging of Polymer Materials\u003cbr\u003e• Fractography of Metals and Plastics\u003cbr\u003e• Fractography of ABS\u003cbr\u003e• Attachment Design Analysis of a Plastic Housing Joined with Snap-Fits\u003cbr\u003e• Joint Performance of Mechanical Fasteners under Dynamic Load\u003cbr\u003e• Morphological Study of Fatigue Induced Damage in Semi-Crystalline Polymers\u003cbr\u003e• Ductile Failure and Delayed Necking in Polyethylene\u003cbr\u003e• Fatigue Behavior of Discontinuous Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene\u003cbr\u003e• Translating Failure into Success—Lessons Learned from Product Failure Analysis\u003cbr\u003e• Case Studies of Plastics Failure Related to Improper Formulation\u003cbr\u003e• Case Studies of Inadvertent Interactions between Polymers and Devices in Field Applications\u003cbr\u003e• Factors Affecting Variation in Gardner Impact Testing\u003cbr\u003e• Standard Test Procedures for Relevant Material Properties for Structural Analysis\u003cbr\u003e• The Influence of Multidimensional State of Stress on the Mechanical Properties of Thermoplastics\u003cbr\u003e• The Influence of Morphology on the Impact Performance of an Impact Modified PP\/PS Alloy\u003cbr\u003e• Morphology and Mechanical Behavior of Polypropylene Hot Plate Welds\u003cbr\u003e• Orientation Effects on the Weldability of Polypropylene Strapping Tape\u003cbr\u003e• Activation Energies of Polymer Degradation\u003cbr\u003e• Effects of Processing Conditions on the Failure Mode of an Aliphatic Polyketone Teropolymer\u003cbr\u003e• Durability Study of Conductive Copper Traces within Polyimide Based Substrates\u003cbr\u003e• The Role of Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) on Mechanical Properties in Thermally Welded Low Density Polyethylene Blown Film\u003cbr\u003e• Plastics Failure Due to Oxidative Degradation in Processing and Service\u003cbr\u003e• Comparing the Long Term Behavior of Tough Polyethylenes by Craze Testing\u003cbr\u003e• Crack Propagation in Continuous Glass Fiber\/Polypropylene Composites\u003cbr\u003e• Freeze-Thaw Durability of Composites for Civil Infrastructure\u003cbr\u003e• Temperature-Moisture-Mechanical Response of Vinyl Ester Resins and Pultruded Vinyl Ester\/e-glass Laminated Composites\u003cbr\u003e• Fracture Behavior of Polypropylene Modified with Metallocene Catalyzed Polyolefin\u003cbr\u003e• Mechanical Performance of Polyamides with Influence of Moisture and Temperature\u003cbr\u003e• Shelf Life Failure Prediction Considerations for Irradiated Polypropylene Medical Devices\u003cbr\u003e• Environmental Stress Cracking of ABS IIRadiation Resistance of Multilayer Films by Instrumented Impact Testing\u003cbr\u003e• Mechanical Behavior of Fabric Film Laminates\u003cbr\u003e• Determining Etch Compensation Factors for Printed Circuit Boards\u003cbr\u003e• Estimation of Long-Term Properties of Epoxies in Body Fluids\u003cbr\u003e• Aspects of the Tensile Response of Random Continuous Glass\/Epoxy Composites\u003cbr\u003e• Residual Stress Development in Marine Coatings under Simulated Service Conditions\u003cbr\u003e• Evaluation of a Yield Criteria and Energy Absorbing Mechanisms of Rubber Modified Epoxies in the Multiaxial Stress States\u003cbr\u003e• Design Aids for Preventing Brittle Failure in Polycarbonate and Polyetherimide\u003cbr\u003e• Effect of Scale on Mechanical Performance of PMMA\u003cbr\u003e• Defect Cost Analysis\u003cbr\u003e• 10 Common Pitfalls in Thin-Wall Plastic Part Design\u003cbr\u003e• Strategies for the Evaluation of Weathering-Induced Failure of Polymers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nDr. John Moalli received his doctorate in Polymers from MIT and currently serves as Director of Exponent Failure Analysis Associates' Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering group.

The products discussed include office equipment, automotive compressed fuel gas system, pipes, polymer blends, blow molded parts, layered, cross-ply and continuous fiber composites, printed circuits, electronic packages, hip implants, blown and multi-layered films, construction materials, component housings, brake cups, composite pressure vessels, swamp coolers, electrical cables, plumbing fittings, medical devices, medical packaging, strapping tapes, balloons, marine coatings, thermal switches, pressure relief membranes, pharmaceutical products, window profiles, and bone cements.\u003cbr\u003eMany common methods of material analysis are compared in this book. For example, the effect of internal pressure and testing of tensile properties, factors affecting Gardner impact testing, standard test procedures for structural analysis, methods of exposure of materials to the multidimensional state of stress, and many other.\u003cbr\u003eAttention is given to material morphology and its development during processing as a practical means of material improvement. Orientation effects during welding processes are analyzed in detail. Also, morphological changes of fatigue-induced damage are evaluated for crystalline polymers.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, many different polymers are analyzed here such as polyethylene (LDPE, HDPE, UHMWPE), polypropylene, polyamide, polyoxymethylene, epoxy resins, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyketone terpolymer, polyimide, polycarbonate, polyurethane, aliphatic copolymers, EPDM, ABS, vinyl ester, aromatic polyamide, polyester, polymethylmethacrylate, polyetherimide\u003cbr\u003eThe book also contains examples of defect cost analysis which shows that improvement of product quality by the above discussed methods is a very economical means of process engineering and technology selection. Some chapters contain a discussion of 10 common pitfalls in thin-wall plastic part design and outline of strategies for the evaluation of weather induced failure of polymers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Practical Risk Analysis—As a Tool for Minimizing Plastic Product Failure\u003cbr\u003e• Avoiding the GIGO Syndrome\u003cbr\u003e• Defect Analysis and High Density Polyethylene Pipe Durability\u003cbr\u003e• Progressive Failure Analysis of Fiber Composite Structures\u003cbr\u003e• Failure Analysis Models for Polyacetal Molded Fittings in Plumbing Systems\u003cbr\u003e• Estimation of Time-Temperature-Collectives in Describing Aging of Polymer Materials\u003cbr\u003e• Fractography of Metals and Plastics\u003cbr\u003e• Fractography of ABS\u003cbr\u003e• Attachment Design Analysis of a Plastic Housing Joined with Snap-Fits\u003cbr\u003e• Joint Performance of Mechanical Fasteners under Dynamic Load\u003cbr\u003e• Morphological Study of Fatigue Induced Damage in Semi-Crystalline Polymers\u003cbr\u003e• Ductile Failure and Delayed Necking in Polyethylene\u003cbr\u003e• Fatigue Behavior of Discontinuous Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene\u003cbr\u003e• Translating Failure into Success—Lessons Learned from Product Failure Analysis\u003cbr\u003e• Case Studies of Plastics Failure Related to Improper Formulation\u003cbr\u003e• Case Studies of Inadvertent Interactions between Polymers and Devices in Field Applications\u003cbr\u003e• Factors Affecting Variation in Gardner Impact Testing\u003cbr\u003e• Standard Test Procedures for Relevant Material Properties for Structural Analysis\u003cbr\u003e• The Influence of Multidimensional State of Stress on the Mechanical Properties of Thermoplastics\u003cbr\u003e• The Influence of Morphology on the Impact Performance of an Impact Modified PP\/PS Alloy\u003cbr\u003e• Morphology and Mechanical Behavior of Polypropylene Hot Plate Welds\u003cbr\u003e• Orientation Effects on the Weldability of Polypropylene Strapping Tape\u003cbr\u003e• Activation Energies of Polymer Degradation\u003cbr\u003e• Effects of Processing Conditions on the Failure Mode of an Aliphatic Polyketone Teropolymer\u003cbr\u003e• Durability Study of Conductive Copper Traces within Polyimide Based Substrates\u003cbr\u003e• The Role of Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) on Mechanical Properties in Thermally Welded Low Density Polyethylene Blown Film\u003cbr\u003e• Plastics Failure Due to Oxidative Degradation in Processing and Service\u003cbr\u003e• Comparing the Long Term Behavior of Tough Polyethylenes by Craze Testing\u003cbr\u003e• Crack Propagation in Continuous Glass Fiber\/Polypropylene Composites\u003cbr\u003e• Freeze-Thaw Durability of Composites for Civil Infrastructure\u003cbr\u003e• Temperature-Moisture-Mechanical Response of Vinyl Ester Resins and Pultruded Vinyl Ester\/e-glass Laminated Composites\u003cbr\u003e• Fracture Behavior of Polypropylene Modified with Metallocene Catalyzed Polyolefin\u003cbr\u003e• Mechanical Performance of Polyamides with Influence of Moisture and Temperature\u003cbr\u003e• Shelf Life Failure Prediction Considerations for Irradiated Polypropylene Medical Devices\u003cbr\u003e• Environmental Stress Cracking of ABS IIRadiation Resistance of Multilayer Films by Instrumented Impact Testing\u003cbr\u003e• Mechanical Behavior of Fabric Film Laminates\u003cbr\u003e• Determining Etch Compensation Factors for Printed Circuit Boards\u003cbr\u003e• Estimation of Long-Term Properties of Epoxies in Body Fluids\u003cbr\u003e• Aspects of the Tensile Response of Random Continuous Glass\/Epoxy Composites\u003cbr\u003e• Residual Stress Development in Marine Coatings under Simulated Service Conditions\u003cbr\u003e• Evaluation of a Yield Criteria and Energy Absorbing Mechanisms of Rubber Modified Epoxies in the Multiaxial Stress States\u003cbr\u003e• Design Aids for Preventing Brittle Failure in Polycarbonate and Polyetherimide\u003cbr\u003e• Effect of Scale on Mechanical Performance of PMMA\u003cbr\u003e• Defect Cost Analysis\u003cbr\u003e• 10 Common Pitfalls in Thin-Wall Plastic Part Design\u003cbr\u003e• Strategies for the Evaluation of Weathering-Induced Failure of Polymers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nDr. John Moalli received his doctorate in Polymers from MIT and currently serves as Director of Exponent Failure Analysis Associates' Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering group.

Flexible packaging types range from bags and bubble wrap to tubes, stand-up pouches and foam cushioning materials. Rigid packaging comprises blisters, bottles, cartridges, clam shells, pallets, trays, etc. Polymers are used in caps and closures, sacks, bags, labels, adhesives, rigid containers, films and other flexibles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlastics are the most important material type in the flexible packaging market with over 70% market share in Europe and North America. Packaging is a very important market for thermoplastics, comprising 40% of total demand in Europe and 25% of total demand in North America in 2000. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlastics have increasingly replaced traditional materials in this sector because of their light weight and superior functionality. In rigid packaging polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has replaced glass in bottles for carbonated drinks, which has moved this resin from a speciality to a commodity plastic. New developments in materials include heat resistant and high barrier plastics which can replace metals and glass in other packaging applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, most of the easy conversions from traditional materials to plastics have now been made. Unless some radical changes occur, such as the packaging of beer in plastic pouches or bottles, the market is likely to grow in line with global GDP. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe five-volume polymers used in packaging are polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and PET. Packaging is the major use of polyethylene and polypropylene. High-density polyethylene is used in applications such as containers, milk and detergent bottles, bags and industrial wrapping. Low-density polyethylene is used for pallet and agricultural film, bags, coatings and containers. Polypropylene is employed in film, crates and microwavable containers. Polystyrene finds use in jewel cases, trays and foam insulation, while PET is used in bottles, film and other food packaging applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA variety of speciality materials are used in packaging. New developments include liquid crystal polymers, which are high-temperature resistant materials with excellent barrier properties. Ticona has produced Vectran materials that can be thermoformed and extruded on standard equipment. They are high cost, but the material loading can be much lower than, for example, ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report includes a description of plastic material types and properties relevant to packaging. Tables of comparative data are found in Chapter 4. Materials are commonly used in combinations in multilayer structures to obtain a set of key properties and to reduce costs.

Flexible packaging types range from bags and bubble wrap to tubes, stand-up pouches and foam cushioning materials. Rigid packaging comprises blisters, bottles, cartridges, clam shells, pallets, trays, etc. Polymers are used in caps and closures, sacks, bags, labels, adhesives, rigid containers, films and other flexibles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlastics are the most important material type in the flexible packaging market with over 70% market share in Europe and North America. Packaging is a very important market for thermoplastics, comprising 40% of total demand in Europe and 25% of total demand in North America in 2000. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlastics have increasingly replaced traditional materials in this sector because of their light weight and superior functionality. In rigid packaging polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has replaced glass in bottles for carbonated drinks, which has moved this resin from a speciality to a commodity plastic. New developments in materials include heat resistant and high barrier plastics which can replace metals and glass in other packaging applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, most of the easy conversions from traditional materials to plastics have now been made. Unless some radical changes occur, such as the packaging of beer in plastic pouches or bottles, the market is likely to grow in line with global GDP. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe five-volume polymers used in packaging are polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and PET. Packaging is the major use of polyethylene and polypropylene. High-density polyethylene is used in applications such as containers, milk and detergent bottles, bags and industrial wrapping. Low-density polyethylene is used for pallet and agricultural film, bags, coatings and containers. Polypropylene is employed in film, crates and microwavable containers. Polystyrene finds use in jewel cases, trays and foam insulation, while PET is used in bottles, film and other food packaging applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA variety of speciality materials are used in packaging. New developments include liquid crystal polymers, which are high-temperature resistant materials with excellent barrier properties. Ticona has produced Vectran materials that can be thermoformed and extruded on standard equipment. They are high cost, but the material loading can be much lower than, for example, ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report includes a description of plastic material types and properties relevant to packaging. Tables of comparative data are found in Chapter 4. Materials are commonly used in combinations in multilayer structures to obtain a set of key properties and to reduce costs. Processing is important to material properties and methods are outlined here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis clearly written report on Plastics in Packaging provides an overview of the plastic packaging supply chain from materials to disposal. Information is included on market sizes and trends relevant to this chain.

Much plastic material is discarded as waste, such as packaging and end-of-life vehicle components. It is essential that we find means to preserve fossil fuels and to reuse materials in some form.

Mechanical recycling is often discussed but it is limited by the need to separate and clean used plastics prior to recycling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report introduces the different waste management options. It discusses the methods available for treating mixed plastics waste and PVC-rich plastics waste. PVC can cause problems in some processes due to the chlorine content, which can cause corrosion of equipment and potentially generate hazardous gas on combustion.
