The key end-use sectors are analysed in terms of material usage and future trends. Each sector is examined in some detail starting with reference to activity in Western Europe, the involvement of polymers within the sector, and how important a share of that involvement is held by TPEs. The issues which affect the choice of different materials and how these are likely to impinge on the use of TPEs in future are discussed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData on TPE supply and consumption by material family and trends for future consumption are given. Growth in TPE usage is due to three main factors: replacement for other materials, new processing technologies and new applications and markets.

A wide acceptance of these materials has taken place due to a growing catalogue of experience backed by convincing case studies in many sectors of industrial activity; new-generation materials have been developed to meet the demands of ever more discriminating customers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report contains discussion of the different families of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials, and of the trends in material developments. The key end-use sectors are analysed in terms of material usage and future trends. Each sector is examined in some detail starting with reference to activity in Western Europe, the involvement of polymers within the sector, and how important a share of that involvement is held by TPEs. The issues which affect the choice of different materials and how these are likely to impinge on the use of TPEs in future are discussed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData on TPE supply and consumption by material family and trends for future consumption are given. Growth in TPE usage is due to three main factors: replacement for other materials, new processing technologies and new applications and markets. TPEs have proven themselves in meeting a wide range of demanding engineering requirements and automotive applications. These applications will continue to grow because of the cost savings provided and the performance delivered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Background\u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Report\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Methodology\u003cbr\u003e2 Executive Summary\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Overall\u003cbr\u003e2.2 Materials\u003cbr\u003e2.3 General\u003cbr\u003e3 TPE Technologies\u003cbr\u003e3.1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e3.2 Styrenic Block Copolymers (SBCs)\u003cbr\u003e3.3 Thermoplastic Olefins (TPOs)\u003cbr\u003e3.4 Thermoplastic Vulcanisates (TPVs)\u003cbr\u003e3.5 Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomers (TPUs)\u003cbr\u003e3.6 Copolyesters (COPEs)\u003cbr\u003e3.7 Copolyamides (COPAs)\u003cbr\u003e4 Material Developments, Products and Trends\u003cbr\u003e4.1 Styrenic Block Copolymers (SBCs)\u003cbr\u003e4.2 Thermoplastic Olefins (TPOs)\u003cbr\u003e4.3 Thermoplastic Vulcanisates (TPVs)\u003cbr\u003e4.4 Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomers (TPUs)\u003cbr\u003e4.5 Copolyesters (COPEs)\u003cbr\u003e4.6 Copolyamides (COPAs)\u003cbr\u003e4.7 Other TPE Materials\u003cbr\u003e5 End-User Markets for Thermoplastic Elastomers\u003cbr\u003e5.1 Automotive\u003cbr\u003e5.2 General Mechanical and Industrial Rubber Products\u003cbr\u003e5.3 Footwear\u003cbr\u003e5.4 Medical and Healthcare Markets\u003cbr\u003e5.5 Other Market Sectors\u003cbr\u003e6 The Supply and Demand for Thermoplastic Elastomers\u003cbr\u003e6.1 Summary\u003cbr\u003e6.2 Current Supply and Demand by Material\u003cbr\u003e6.3 Notes on Suppliers and Compounders\u003cbr\u003e6.4 Estimated Future Demand for TPEs\u003cbr\u003e7 Processing, Machinery and Other Factors\u003cbr\u003e7.1 Extrusion\u003cbr\u003e7.2 Injection Moulding\u003cbr\u003e7.3 Finishing and Assembly\u003cbr\u003e7.4 Machinery\u003cbr\u003e7.5 Testing Procedures\u003cbr\u003e7.6 Recycling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPeter W.

A brief description of tire construction and design is accompanied by a discussion of trends in tire manufacturing and how these may affect subsequent recycling. After an analysis of the retread industry and its relevance to the recycling issues, the different routes that a non-retreadable tire may take are examined: rubber crumb production, pyrolysis, reclaim rubber and other chemical or thermal processes that yield a selection of end products. The processes involved and the applications of the resulting materials are discussed. Recovery of energy from used Tires by incineration and the techniques involved is also reviewed. \u003cbr\u003eThe regulatory initiatives and legislative pressures likely to affect the management of end-of-life tires are considered with discussion of the situation in Europe, North America and Japan. Estimates are provided\u003cbr\u003efor the quantities of tires involved. Analysis of these figures allows comparison between the various recycling activities and the emerging trends are discussed. \u003cbr\u003eThe report is of interest to a range of different sectors from those responsible for waste management, regulatory bodies and local authorities through retreaders and recyclers to those who make rubber-containing products or who plan to enhance value from the materials contained in end-of-life tires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPeter W. Dufton graduated from Cambridge University in materials Science before taking a research degree for work on mechanical properties of high strength aircraft materials. He joined Dunlop in 1970 to work on tire reinforcement materials before moving within the company to technical support and product development in the Overseas Division. This was followed by a period as Overseas Business Development Manager in Dunlop Adhesives. Since joining Rapra in 1987, as a consultant in the business analysis and publishing areas, he has undertaken multi-client work in the field of market research on a range of topics. These include tires, fire-related matters, wire and cable and various other end-use sectors for the polymers, individual polymer materials development and compounding additives. He is also the author of several reports in the Rapra Industry Analysis Series."}

It evolved from the ancient art of glass blowing and it is used to particular advantage with plastic materials. Celluloid was used first to blow mould baby rattles and novelties in the 1930s, linear low-density polyethylene was used in the 1940s for high production bottles and these days polyethylene terephthalate is used to make anything from soda bottles to highly sophisticated multilayered containers and automotive fuel tanks in the last decade. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen designing a product it is important to consider aspects such as a material's characteristics, the processing methods available, the assembly and finishing procedures, and the life cycle and expected performance of the product. This book presents the basics of blow moulding as well as the latest state-of-the-art and science of the industry. A key feature is the approach of discussing the ‘basics’ and then taking the reader through the entire process from design development through to final production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is very important for those involved in the manufacturing operation to keep abreast of the advances that are being made. This book will be of interest to those already using the blow moulding process and those who are interested in the potential offered by this versatile technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 What is Blow Moulding?\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1.1 Definition\u003cbr\u003e1.1.2 Basic

It evolved from the ancient art of glass blowing and it is used to particular advantage with plastic materials. Celluloid was used first to blow mould baby rattles and novelties in the 1930s, linear low-density polyethylene was used in the 1940s for high production bottles and these days polyethylene terephthalate is used to make anything from soda bottles to highly sophisticated multilayered containers and automotive fuel tanks in the last decade. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen designing a product it is important to consider aspects such as a material's characteristics, the processing methods available, the assembly and finishing procedures, and the life cycle and expected performance of the product. This book presents the basics of blow moulding as well as the latest state-of-the-art and science of the industry. A key feature is the approach of discussing the ‘basics’ and then taking the reader through the entire process from design development through to final production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is very important for those involved in the manufacturing operation to keep abreast of the advances that are being made. This book will be of interest to those already using the blow moulding process and those who are interested in the potential offered by this versatile technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 What is Blow Moulding?\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1.1 Definition\u003cbr\u003e1.1.2 Basic

Polyolefin Foams are a relatively recent development compared to the other types of foam. The Polyolefin foam processes were developed in the 1960s and 1970s.\u003cbr\u003eThis Review starts with a brief history of the subject and then reports on the current situation regarding Polyolefin Foams.

The reason for such activity is due to the finite nature of traditional petrochemical derived compounds in addition to economic and environmental considerations. Thus a key goal of the coming years will be the development of sustainable raw materials for the chemical industry that will replace current fossil-based feedstocks. The challenge for researchers is to develop natural and man-made synthetics that would reduce the emission of gases. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book gives a thorough overview of the manufacture and uses of low environmental impact polymers.

Assuming a molecular, rather than a mechanical approach, the text provides a strong grounding in the fundamental concepts, detailed derivations, and particular attention to assumptions, simplifications, and limitations. This Third Edition has been entirely revised and updated to reflect recent developments in the field. New chapters include:\u003cbr\u003e* Phenomenological Treatment of Viscoelasticity\u003cbr\u003e* Viscoelastic Models\u003cbr\u003e* Time-Temperature Correspondence\u003cbr\u003e* Transitions and Relaxation in Polymers\u003cbr\u003e* Elasticity of Rubbery Networks\u003cbr\u003e* Dielectric and NMR Methods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith detailed explanations, corresponding equations, and experimental methods, supported by real-life applications (as well as the inclusion of a CD-ROM with data to support the exercises), this Third Edition provides today's students and professionals with the tools they need to create polymers with more desirable qualities than ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1.

Also, covers plastics mated to plastics and metals. \u003cbr\u003eBased on the premisses that 20 to 80% of material failure is caused by fatigue, a detailed analysis of the existing data is made available in this volume. The book contains the introduction to related phenomena, such as crack initiation and growth, ductile to brittle transitions, factors related to fatigue.
