They may be transparent or opaque, rigid or flexible, lightweight, insulating, and weatherproof. They are used in almost every industry, and in every part of the home. Applications range from the humble hot water bottle to the sheathing on a high voltage cable, and from a simple scrubbing brush to a tank for storing hydrochloric acid. Products may be disposable (e.g. packaging goods) or intended to last for decades, such as a buried sewage pipe. However, it is this very diversity which makes materials selection so difficult, and appropriate design so important. Indeed the one thing that all these particular products have in common is their presence in this book of failures! \u003cbr\u003eFailures due to degradation may result from exposure to the weather or an aggressive operating environment. Alternatively, they may be caused by the introduction of an external agent unforeseen by the product designer. They may be rapid or very slow, and they may result from a combination of factors. In this book Dr. Wright describes the following mechanisms of polymer degradation, and then illustrates each failure mechanism with a number of case studies: \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermo-oxidation,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-oxidation,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDegradation due to ionizing radiation,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical attack,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironmental stress cracking,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther miscellaneous effects, including treeing, electrochemical degradation and biodegradation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\nMany of the case studies are based on Dr. Wright's own experiences whilst working at Rapra. In each case, he describes the circumstances of the failure and discusses both the consequences of the failure and\u003cbr\u003ethe lessons that may be learned from it. Most of the failed products are familiar to us all, and his style is both readable and informative. Colored photographs are included where available. \u003cbr\u003eThe book will be essential reading for designers, engineers, product specifiers and forensic engineers. Materials suppliers and processors will also benefit from the pragmatic analysis and advice it contains. It will also be of value to all students of polymer science and technology, providing an essential insight into the practical application of plastics and rubbers and the potential problems. Finally, it will be of interest to a much broader readership, including anyone who ever wondered why things break, and it should become a standard reference work in all technical libraries. \u003cbr\u003eThis book was written with the support of the UK Department of Trade and Industry. It is intended to raise awareness of the causes and consequences of polymer product failures, in order to reduce the future\u003cbr\u003eincidences of such failures, and their considerable costs to

They may be transparent or opaque, rigid or flexible, lightweight, insulating, and weatherproof. They are used in almost every industry, and in every part of the home. Applications range from the humble hot water bottle to the sheathing on a high voltage cable, and from a simple scrubbing brush to a tank for storing hydrochloric acid. Products may be disposable (e.g. packaging goods) or intended to last for decades, such as a buried sewage pipe. However, it is this very diversity which makes materials selection so difficult, and appropriate design so important. Indeed the one thing that all these particular products have in common is their presence in this book of failures! \u003cbr\u003eFailures due to degradation may result from exposure to the weather or an aggressive operating environment. Alternatively, they may be caused by the introduction of an external agent unforeseen by the product designer. They may be rapid or very slow, and they may result from a combination of factors. In this book Dr. Wright describes the following mechanisms of polymer degradation, and then illustrates each failure mechanism with a number of case studies: \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermo-oxidation,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-oxidation,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDegradation due to ionizing radiation,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical attack,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironmental stress cracking,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther miscellaneous effects, including treeing, electrochemical degradation and biodegradation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\nMany of the case studies are based on Dr. Wright's own experiences whilst working at Rapra. In each case, he describes the circumstances of the failure and discusses both the consequences of the failure and\u003cbr\u003ethe lessons that may be learned from it. Most of the failed products are familiar to us all, and his style is both readable and informative. Colored photographs are included where available. \u003cbr\u003eThe book will be essential reading for designers, engineers, product specifiers and forensic engineers. Materials suppliers and processors will also benefit from the pragmatic analysis and advice it contains. It will also be of value to all students of polymer science and technology, providing an essential insight into the practical application of plastics and rubbers and the potential problems. Finally, it will be of interest to a much broader readership, including anyone who ever wondered why things break, and it should become a standard reference work in all technical libraries. \u003cbr\u003eThis book was written with the support of the UK Department of Trade and Industry. It is intended to raise awareness of the causes and consequences of polymer product failures, in order to reduce the future\u003cbr\u003eincidences of such failures, and their considerable costs to

There has been a proliferation of test methods by which plastic properties are measured. The property data measured by these test methods are not identical and sometimes have large differences. How are engineers, designers, buyers going to decide the type and resin grade and their property data? Which are the valid test methods? The right plastic property data are the difference between success and failure of a design, thus making the property selection process critical. For the first time, this book provides a simple and efficient approach to a highly complex and time-consuming task. There are over 26,000 different grades of polymers and millions of parts and applications, further adding to the difficulty of the selection process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelection of Polymeric Materials steers engineers and designers onto the right path to selecting the appropriate values for each plastic property. A large amount of property information has been provided to teach and assist the plastic part designer and others in selecting the right resin and properties for an application. Various standards including ASTM, ISO, UL, and British Specifications have been discussed to help the readers in making sound decisions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• A simple and efficient approach to a highly complex and time-consuming task. \u003cbr\u003e• Allows engineers to select from various standards including ASTM, ISO, UL, and British Specification. \u003cbr\u003e• Presents information on properties such as tensile strength, melt temperature, continuous service temperature, moisture exposure, specific gravity and flammability ratings. \u003cbr\u003e• Tried and true values narrow myriad choices down quickly for readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.

There has been a proliferation of test methods by which plastic properties are measured. The property data measured by these test methods are not identical and sometimes have large differences. How are engineers, designers, buyers going to decide the type and resin grade and their property data? Which are the valid test methods? The right plastic property data are the difference between success and failure of a design, thus making the property selection process critical. For the first time, this book provides a simple and efficient approach to a highly complex and time-consuming task. There are over 26,000 different grades of polymers and millions of parts and applications, further adding to the difficulty of the selection process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelection of Polymeric Materials steers engineers and designers onto the right path to selecting the appropriate values for each plastic property. A large amount of property information has been provided to teach and assist the plastic part designer and others in selecting the right resin and properties for an application. Various standards including ASTM, ISO, UL, and British Specifications have been discussed to help the readers in making sound decisions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• A simple and efficient approach to a highly complex and time-consuming task. \u003cbr\u003e• Allows engineers to select from various standards including ASTM, ISO, UL, and British Specification. \u003cbr\u003e• Presents information on properties such as tensile strength, melt temperature, continuous service temperature, moisture exposure, specific gravity and flammability ratings. \u003cbr\u003e• Tried and true values narrow myriad choices down quickly for readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.

Their most attractive feature is that they can be processed like plastics, yet they exhibit properties that are close to vulcanized rubber. Consequently, they can be produced in a highly cost-effective way, using short production cycles, with a considerably reduced energy consumption, and minimum production scrap. Moreover, because they are thermoplastics, production scrap as well as post-consumer scrap can be easily recycled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unique practical reference work compiles in one place the current working knowledge of chemistry, processing, physical and mechanical properties, as well as applications of thermoplastic elastomers. Because of the great number of thermoplastic elastomers and the variety of chemistries involved, the work is divided into chapters describing individual commercial groups. A significant part of this book is dedicated to processing methods, applications, and material data sheets. Chapters on processing methods and applications are enhanced with ample illustrations. Each chapter includes a comprehensive list of references for a more in-depth study. Other features are a list of current suppliers, ISO nomenclature, an extensive bibliography, a list of recent patents and a glossary of terms.

Their most attractive feature is that they can be processed like plastics, yet they exhibit properties that are close to vulcanized rubber. Consequently, they can be produced in a highly cost-effective way, using short production cycles, with a considerably reduced energy consumption, and minimum production scrap. Moreover, because they are thermoplastics, production scrap as well as post-consumer scrap can be easily recycled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unique practical reference work compiles in one place the current working knowledge of chemistry, processing, physical and mechanical properties, as well as applications of thermoplastic elastomers. Because of the great number of thermoplastic elastomers and the variety of chemistries involved, the work is divided into chapters describing individual commercial groups. A significant part of this book is dedicated to processing methods, applications, and material data sheets. Chapters on processing methods and applications are enhanced with ample illustrations. Each chapter includes a comprehensive list of references for a more in-depth study. Other features are a list of current suppliers, ISO nomenclature, an extensive bibliography, a list of recent patents and a glossary of terms. The work is concluded by a chapter on newest developments and trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1

This long-needed handbook of analytical techniques provides a complete reference to the cutting-edge procedures used to test today's innovative materials. \u003cbr\u003eRanging from chemical and thermal analysis, to IR and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, to Scanning Electron Microscopy, x-ray diffraction, computer modeling and more, the book provides first-hand explanations of modern methods - contributed by 24 leading scientists, many of whom actually developed or refined the techniques. The book includes many analytic techniques, applied to a wide range of organic, inorganic and composite materials and additives. \u003cbr\u003ePerfect for practitioners, students, and professional standards writers, the handbook is highly useful for scrutinizing materials in a variety of environments. It takes into account the many factors that affect the qualities of concrete - temperature, pore and pore size distribution, surface area, and exposure - gathering diverse evaluation methods into one convenient resource.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConcrete is a composite material formed by mixing and curing ingredients such as cement, fine and coarse aggregates, and water. Most concretes, however, contain additional ingredients such as chemical admixtures including air-entraining admixtures, fly ash, fibers, slag, and other products.\u003cbr\u003eThe physical, chemical and durability characteristics of concrete depend on many factors such as the type and amount of the components, temperature, pore and pore size distribution, surface area, interfacial features, exposure conditions, etc. Consequently, a good understanding of various processes occurring in cementitious systems necessitates the application of diverse techniques.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral physical, chemical, and mechanical techniques are applied in concrete research and practice. They provide important information, including characterization of raw materials and cured concrete, quality control, quantitative estimation of products, prediction of performance, development of accelerated test methods, study of interrelationships amongst physical, chemical, mechanical, and durability characteristics, development of new materials, etc. In most instances, no single technique provides all the needed information and hence application of several techniques becomes necessary. Information on the application of various techniques in concrete is dispersed in literature, and few books are available that serve as a source or reference. Hence a handbook incorporating the latest knowledge on the application of various investigative techniques in concrete science and technology has been prepared. Standard test methods are not covered in this book as they are well described in publications of national and international standards organizations.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into twenty chapters. Each chapter describes the technique and its application and limitations for the study of concrete,. Each chapter also contains a list of important references that should serve as a useful guide for further information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\nThe first chapter on concrete science describes the essential concepts so that information presented in subsequent chapters can be easily followed. The chapter deals with the formation of cement, its hydration behavior, physicochemical processes related to the cement paste, and several important properties of concrete and durability aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 deals with the description of a number of specialized techniques used in conjunction with petrography for the evaluation and analysis of aggregates of concrete.\u003cbr\u003eChemical analysis methods have been applied extensively to analyze the components of concrete, chemical and mineral admixtures, raw materials for making cement and also to estimate cement contents. Modern analytical tools enable much faster analysis than the wet chemical methods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 3, chemical analysis techniques reviewed include atomic absorption, x-ray emission and plasma spectroscopy. The chapter also contains information on chemical (wet) methods of analysis.\u003cbr\u003eThermal analysis techniques based on the determination of physical, chemical, and mechanical changes in a material as a function of temperature, have been routinely used in concrete science and technology. Identification, estimation of compounds, kinetics of reactions, mechanisms of the action of admixtures, synthesis of compounds, quality control and causes leading to the deterioration of cementitious materials are investigated by these techniques.

This long-needed handbook of analytical techniques provides a complete reference to the cutting-edge procedures used to test today's innovative materials. \u003cbr\u003eRanging from chemical and thermal analysis, to IR and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, to Scanning Electron Microscopy, x-ray diffraction, computer modeling and more, the book provides first-hand explanations of modern methods - contributed by 24 leading scientists, many of whom actually developed or refined the techniques. The book includes many analytic techniques, applied to a wide range of organic, inorganic and composite materials and additives. \u003cbr\u003ePerfect for practitioners, students, and professional standards writers, the handbook is highly useful for scrutinizing materials in a variety of environments. It takes into account the many factors that affect the qualities of concrete - temperature, pore and pore size distribution, surface area, and exposure - gathering diverse evaluation methods into one convenient resource.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConcrete is a composite material formed by mixing and curing ingredients such as cement, fine and coarse aggregates, and water. Most concretes, however, contain additional ingredients such as chemical admixtures including air-entraining admixtures, fly ash, fibers, slag, and other products.\u003cbr\u003eThe physical, chemical and durability characteristics of concrete depend on many factors such as the type and amount of the components, temperature, pore and pore size distribution, surface area, interfacial features, exposure conditions, etc. Consequently, a good understanding of various processes occurring in cementitious systems necessitates the application of diverse techniques.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral physical, chemical, and mechanical techniques are applied in concrete research and practice. They provide important information, including characterization of raw materials and cured concrete, quality control, quantitative estimation of products, prediction of performance, development of accelerated test methods, study of interrelationships amongst physical, chemical, mechanical, and durability characteristics, development of new materials, etc. In most instances, no single technique provides all the needed information and hence application of several techniques becomes necessary. Information on the application of various techniques in concrete is dispersed in literature, and few books are available that serve as a source or reference. Hence a handbook incorporating the latest knowledge on the application of various investigative techniques in concrete science and technology has been prepared. Standard test methods are not covered in this book as they are well described in publications of national and international standards organizations.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into twenty chapters. Each chapter describes the technique and its application and limitations for the study of concrete,. Each chapter also contains a list of important references that should serve as a useful guide for further information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\nThe first chapter on concrete science describes the essential concepts so that information presented in subsequent chapters can be easily followed. The chapter deals with the formation of cement, its hydration behavior, physicochemical processes related to the cement paste, and several important properties of concrete and durability aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 deals with the description of a number of specialized techniques used in conjunction with petrography for the evaluation and analysis of aggregates of concrete.\u003cbr\u003eChemical analysis methods have been applied extensively to analyze the components of concrete, chemical and mineral admixtures, raw materials for making cement and also to estimate cement contents. Modern analytical tools enable much faster analysis than the wet chemical methods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 3, chemical analysis techniques reviewed include atomic absorption, x-ray emission and plasma spectroscopy. The chapter also contains information on chemical (wet) methods of analysis.\u003cbr\u003eThermal analysis techniques based on the determination of physical, chemical, and mechanical changes in a material as a function of temperature, have been routinely used in concrete science and technology. Identification, estimation of compounds, kinetics of reactions, mechanisms of the action of admixtures, synthesis of compounds, quality control and causes leading to the deterioration of cementitious materials are investigated by these techniques.

The applications of radiation curing are set to expand. Currently, the technology is used in coatings, graphic arts, printing inks, packaging, adhesives, optical and optoelectronic applications, composite production, rapid prototyping, electronics, with liquid crystals, in nanotechnology, for controlled-permeability membranes and hydrogels (including contact lenses), and for the vulcanisation of natural and synthetic rubber. These are all discussed in this review, with principle material types outlined. The review is well referenced to facilitate further reading. It is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from the Rapra Abstracts database, most of which are cited in the text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many possibilities for future developments in radiation curing. The technology permits extensive control over crosslinking, including reversal of the process of adhesion in some cases. This allows the production of release coatings and provides an easy method of removing expensive components at the end-of-life stage. It is also developing a role in medical applications. The prospects for functional and aesthetic coating applications are abundant with pearlescent coatings, liquid crystals in coatings and high gloss coatings, to name but a few. Radiation curing is generally environmentally friendly - dry powder coatings can eliminate the need for solvent-based products, and reversible adhesives can facilitate recycling.

It is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from the Rapra Abstracts database, most of which are cited in the text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many possibilities for future developments in radiation curing. The technology permits extensive control over crosslinking, including reversal of the process of adhesion in some cases. This allows the production of release coatings and provides an easy method of removing expensive components at the end-of-life stage. It is also developing a role in medical applications. The prospects for functional and aesthetic coating applications are abundant with pearlescent coatings, liquid crystals in coatings and high gloss coatings, to name but a few. Radiation curing is generally environmentally friendly - dry powder coatings can eliminate the need for solvent-based products, and reversible adhesives can facilitate recycling. This legislation is fuelling the drive towards this technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\nIntroduction \u003cbr\u003eWhat is Radiation Curing?

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.

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.

Much of the development work has been pioneered in Germany which introduced very strict recycling laws. This report examines the issue of converting Plastics Waste into energy and\/or useful chemicals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymers are generally derived from fossil fuels which are being gradually depleted. 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. Life cycle analysis is being performed on the different methods of disposing of waste plastics to discover the most environmentally friendly methods. 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. The emphasis in this report is on technologies which are already being used or assessed for use on a commercial scale. Comparisons are made between the different types of recycling currently available in terms of life cycle assessment and environmental impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe EU draft directive on Packaging waste includes definitions of the types of recycling. Chemical recycling implies a change of the chemical structure of the material, but in such a way that the resulting chemicals can be used to produce the original material again. Such processes include monomer recover.

Much of the development work has been pioneered in Germany which introduced very strict recycling laws. This report examines the issue of converting Plastics Waste into energy and\/or useful chemicals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymers are generally derived from fossil fuels which are being gradually depleted. 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. Life cycle analysis is being performed on the different methods of disposing of waste plastics to discover the most environmentally friendly methods. 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. The emphasis in this report is on technologies which are already being used or assessed for use on a commercial scale. Comparisons are made between the different types of recycling currently available in terms of life cycle assessment and environmental impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe EU draft directive on Packaging waste includes definitions of the types of recycling. Chemical recycling implies a change of the chemical structure of the material, but in such a way that the resulting chemicals can be used to produce the original material again. Such processes include monomer recover. There are few commercial techniques available which accomplish this, one outstanding example is nylon carpet recycling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeedstock recycling is discussed extensively in this review.
