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. It includes a review of key factors affecting the industry, such as the need for recycling, and new developments in plastics used in packaging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of

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. It includes a review of key factors affecting the industry, such as the need for recycling, and new developments in plastics used in packaging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of

This is a “hot” subject because of the tremendous changes in the market. These have arisen from the increased use of disposable gloves in the medical industry and the search for elastomers which do not promote allergic reactions. Also, latex products are being used extensively as alternatives to solvent-based systems such as adhesives, sealants, and coatings, because of global legislation concerning the use of volatile and flammable solvents. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe range of applications of latex is extensive. Polymer latices are used in paints and coatings, textiles, non-wovens, packaging, construction (mainly in adhesives and binders), furniture, packaging, paper (e.g., coatings), medical equipment, personal protective equipment, carpet backing, adhesives, polish, belts, seals, etc. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe global annual consumption of natural rubber latex is running at just over 7 million tons. Natural rubber latex is particularly widely used in medical gloves, thread and condom applications. Gloves are by far the largest market sector, consuming around 60% by weight. The market is being driven by the advent of AIDS and other pandemic diseases, and the need to protect healthcare workers from infection. Production quality must be high to eliminate pinholes and provide an adequate barrier. This is a very competitive market and much of the production industry has been moved to Asia to reduce costs. This, in turn, has to lead to new standards being introduced, such as the Standard Malaysian Gloves (SMG). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural rubber latex is discussed in depth in this report from cultivation practices to manufacturing methods and new developments. Allergic reactions have been reported to residual proteins in latex. The nature, incidence and potential market impact of this are discussed. Attempts are being made to replace natural rubber with synthetics, but currently, this is not generally cost effective. The key properties of natural latex are described in the report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wide range of synthetic latices is available including styrene-butadiene copolymers (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, polychloroprene, acrylic polymers, vinyl acetate polymers, vinyl acetate-ethylene polymers, vinyl chloride polymers and copolymers, polybutadiene and polyisoprene. SBR is the most commonly used synthetic latex – around 2.4 million tons are consumed globally each year. This report describes production methods, applications, and markets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe worldwide structure of the latex industry is outlined here. The natural rubber industry in Asian countries, North America and Europe are described. Asia is the key area for production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe latex market is spread across the globe, making it less sensitive to regional fluctuations and economic cycles. Application areas are growing with the requirements for medical gloves and condoms, and the use of latices as substitutes for solvent-based systems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Rapra Natural and Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Report provide an excellent, clear overview of the whole of the latex industry from production and manufacturing methods to market applications, new technology and potential for growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The World of Latex\u003cbr\u003e1.2 Scope of the

This is a “hot” subject because of the tremendous changes in the market. These have arisen from the increased use of disposable gloves in the medical industry and the search for elastomers which do not promote allergic reactions. Also, latex products are being used extensively as alternatives to solvent-based systems such as adhesives, sealants, and coatings, because of global legislation concerning the use of volatile and flammable solvents. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe range of applications of latex is extensive. Polymer latices are used in paints and coatings, textiles, non-wovens, packaging, construction (mainly in adhesives and binders), furniture, packaging, paper (e.g., coatings), medical equipment, personal protective equipment, carpet backing, adhesives, polish, belts, seals, etc. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe global annual consumption of natural rubber latex is running at just over 7 million tons. Natural rubber latex is particularly widely used in medical gloves, thread and condom applications. Gloves are by far the largest market sector, consuming around 60% by weight. The market is being driven by the advent of AIDS and other pandemic diseases, and the need to protect healthcare workers from infection. Production quality must be high to eliminate pinholes and provide an adequate barrier. This is a very competitive market and much of the production industry has been moved to Asia to reduce costs. This, in turn, has to lead to new standards being introduced, such as the Standard Malaysian Gloves (SMG). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural rubber latex is discussed in depth in this report from cultivation practices to manufacturing methods and new developments. Allergic reactions have been reported to residual proteins in latex. The nature, incidence and potential market impact of this are discussed. Attempts are being made to replace natural rubber with synthetics, but currently, this is not generally cost effective. The key properties of natural latex are described in the report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wide range of synthetic latices is available including styrene-butadiene copolymers (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, polychloroprene, acrylic polymers, vinyl acetate polymers, vinyl acetate-ethylene polymers, vinyl chloride polymers and copolymers, polybutadiene and polyisoprene. SBR is the most commonly used synthetic latex – around 2.4 million tons are consumed globally each year. This report describes production methods, applications, and markets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe worldwide structure of the latex industry is outlined here. The natural rubber industry in Asian countries, North America and Europe are described. Asia is the key area for production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe latex market is spread across the globe, making it less sensitive to regional fluctuations and economic cycles. Application areas are growing with the requirements for medical gloves and condoms, and the use of latices as substitutes for solvent-based systems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Rapra Natural and Synthetic Latex Polymers Market Report provide an excellent, clear overview of the whole of the latex industry from production and manufacturing methods to market applications, new technology and potential for growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The World of Latex\u003cbr\u003e1.2 Scope of the

Goodship, The University of Warwick \u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-85957-328-0 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epages: 122, figures: 7, table: 1\n\u003ch5\u003eSummary\u003c\/h5\u003e\nMany plastic components need to have a surface finish applied before use. This can act as a decorative layer, a protective layer, to smooth out surface defects, or to alter surface properties (for example, to enhance adhesion). If this surface effect is applied during the moulding process, it can reduce time, space, material and machinery requirements. It also allows processors to supply complete systems, rather than just moulded components. In-mould decoration techniques include the in-mould application of film, in-mould priming, in-mould labeling and the injection of paints into the mould. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn-mould decoration generally requires additional equipment, which can be expensive. The design is also critical for success. These factors need to be taken into consideration in corporate planning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn-mould films are prepared by multi-layer extrusion or solvent casting. They can be a single colour or highly patterned with detailed graphics. They are stretched across a mould prior to injection, compression or blow moulding to produce a variety of decorative effects. This technique allows for great design flexibility and permits increased customer personalisation of products such as cars and mobile phones. Changing design between moulds is as simple as changing a roll of film. Film preparation is also discussed in this review. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoatings comprising thermoplastic, pseudo-thermoplastic and uncured thermosetting materials can be injected or extruded into a mould. Here they act as paints in compression injection moulding and co-injection moulding. An additional benefit is that in-mould painting can reduce the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, which is a common problem in paint shops. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn-mould labeling can eliminate the requirement for adhesive. In the first example of this practice, paper labels for ice cream container lids were inserted into the mould prior to injection. Labels can also be applied as a film and made from the same plastic material as the component to facilitate bonding and create a continuous surface effect, i.e., the label becomes an integral part of the product. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese techniques have widespread use in the plastics industry and the marketplace is expanding. The car and mobile phone industries, packaging and toys are examples of key areas for growth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany new developments are taking place in this field. The indexed summaries of papers from the polymer library that are included with this review include a number of key patents. This reference section also provides a good indicator of the key companies involved in this area and the current applications of this technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe emphasis of this review is on practical applications of the techniques of in-mould decoration including advantages and disadvantages. This book provides an excellent source of information about a developing area of moulding, which will allow processors to add value to products and compete in the marketplace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1.

Love and V. Goodship, The University of Warwick \u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-85957-328-0 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epages: 122, figures: 7, table: 1\n\u003ch5\u003eSummary\u003c\/h5\u003e\nMany plastic components need to have a surface finish applied before use. This can act as a decorative layer, a protective layer, to smooth out surface defects, or to alter surface properties (for example, to enhance adhesion). If this surface effect is applied during the moulding process, it can reduce time, space, material and machinery requirements. It also allows processors to supply complete systems, rather than just moulded components. In-mould decoration techniques include the in-mould application of film, in-mould priming, in-mould labeling and the injection of paints into the mould. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn-mould decoration generally requires additional equipment, which can be expensive. The design is also critical for success. These factors need to be taken into consideration in corporate planning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn-mould films are prepared by multi-layer extrusion or solvent casting. They can be a single colour or highly patterned with detailed graphics. They are stretched across a mould prior to injection, compression or blow moulding to produce a variety of decorative effects. This technique allows for great design flexibility and permits increased customer personalisation of products such as cars and mobile phones. Changing design between moulds is as simple as changing a roll of film. Film preparation is also discussed in this review. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoatings comprising thermoplastic, pseudo-thermoplastic and uncured thermosetting materials can be injected or extruded into a mould. Here they act as paints in compression injection moulding and co-injection moulding. An additional benefit is that in-mould painting can reduce the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, which is a common problem in paint shops. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn-mould labeling can eliminate the requirement for adhesive. In the first example of this practice, paper labels for ice cream container lids were inserted into the mould prior to injection. Labels can also be applied as a film and made from the same plastic material as the component to facilitate bonding and create a continuous surface effect, i.e., the label becomes an integral part of the product. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese techniques have widespread use in the plastics industry and the marketplace is expanding. The car and mobile phone industries, packaging and toys are examples of key areas for growth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany new developments are taking place in this field. The indexed summaries of papers from the polymer library that are included with this review include a number of key patents. This reference section also provides a good indicator of the key companies involved in this area and the current applications of this technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe emphasis of this review is on practical applications of the techniques of in-mould decoration including advantages and disadvantages. This book provides an excellent source of information about a developing area of moulding, which will allow processors to add value to products and compete in the marketplace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1.

The selection includes 375 generic and commercial plasticizers. The generic plasticizers contain data for the particular chemical compound from numerous sources and these generic plasticizer tables usually contain the most extensive information. The commercial plasticizers include only data given by plasticizer manufacturers. This allows comparison of properties of commercial plasticizers coming from different sources. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlasticizer Databook was developed to contain data required in plasticizers application. Attempts were made to include plasticizers used in various sectors of industry to provide information for all users and to help in finding new solutions. Plasticizers included in the book 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tables in the book are divided into five general sections: General information, Physical properties, Health \u0026amp; safety, Ecological properties, and Use \u0026amp; performance.

Due to the complex composition, no single technique can provide a good understanding of the effect of chemical and physical structures on the functional properties of rubbery materials. Thus spectroscopy has become a powerful tool for the determination of polymer structures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most comprehensive information on chemical and physical structures in relation to material properties can be obtained by using a combination of macroscopic techniques and methods that provide information on the molecular level. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe major part of the book is devoted to techniques that are the most frequently used for analysis of rubbery materials, i.e., various methods of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and optical spectroscopy. The main objective of this present book is to discuss a wide range of applications of the spectroscopic techniques for the analysis of rubbery materials. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book brings together the various spectroscopic techniques for obtaining the following information: chemical structure of rubbery materials, network structure analysis, heterogeneity of rubbery materials, physical properties of rubbery materials, functional properties and stability of rubbery materials, processing of rubbery materials and quality control. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contents of this book are of interest to chemists, physicists, material scientists and technologists who seek a better understanding of rubbery materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Titles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

Avoiding mathematical theory, except when absolutely necessary, this authoritative handbook empowers the reader to achieve good results with their plastic mixing. Mixing in Single Screw Extrusion will be a valuable resource to all involved in the art of plastic extrusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lot of plastics products are extruded and most of those products contain additives, which mean that the plastic must be mixed at some point. Mixing is generally done with a twin-screw extruder, and the single-screw extruder, which is used in product production, is generally overlooked as a device for mixing. This reference handbook, written by a former Principal Consultant at Smithers Rapra, and the inventor of the cavity transfer mixer, redresses the balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtrusion is used for about half of all plastics product manufacture, mostly using single screw extruders. Very often part of their role is the incorporation of one or more of a very wide range of additives, mainly in the form of masterbatches. These range from very visible colours to the invisible traces of anti-block and slip additives. There are also continuing pressures to improve overall economics and these require increased mixing performance in many cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the growing pressures to increase the amount of plastics recycling, both the limitations and success in blending the mainly incompatible polymer combinations are explained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe development of 'add-on' cavity mixers and floating ring mixers, together with their methodology are described, whilst the associated innovative techniques using a liquid injection of colours, tackifiers, lubricants, crosslinking agents and foaming agents, (particularly carbon dioxide) are included. Developments in controlled levels of blending by 'chaotic mixing' to produce products with very specific properties such as barrier films are briefly described.\u003cbr\u003eExtrusion tests for carbon black dispersion are included and the book concludes with a practical guide to the preparation of microtomed plastics specimens for evaluation by optical microscopy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 The Need for Good Mixing in Single Screw Extrusion\u003cbr\u003e2 Dispersive and Distributive Mixing\u003cbr\u003e3 Measurement of Mixing\u003cbr\u003e4 Single Screw Extruder Stages: Effects of Mixing\u003cbr\u003e5 Pellet Handling: A source of Variable Composition\u003cbr\u003e6 Solids Conveying in the Feed\/Transport Zone\u003cbr\u003e7 Melting\u003cbr\u003e8 Screw Channel Mixing and the Application of Mixing Sections\u003cbr\u003e9 Interacting Rotor\/Stator Mixers\u003cbr\u003e10 Floating Ring Mixing Devices\u003cbr\u003e11 Static (or Motionless) Mixers\u003cbr\u003e12 Incorporation of Liquid Additives and Dispersions by Direct Addition\u003cbr\u003e13 Dispersive Mixing of Fillers and Pigments\u003cbr\u003e14 Dispersive Mixing Applied to Polymer Blending\u003cbr\u003e15 Compounding with Single Screw Extruders\u003cbr\u003eAppendix - Preparation of Microtome Sections for Assessment of Dispersive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nAfter graduating in chemical technology, specialising in plastics, Martin Gale's first involvement in mixing and extrusion was as the plastics technologist in a new plant being set up to produce UPVC pipes in 1959. After two years he joined the Rubber and Plastics Research Association (later to become Rapra Technology). After working on glass fibre\/matrix bonding and antistatic agents, he became a member of the newly formed plastics section, eventually becoming responsible for plastics processing. The work was a mix of industrial multiclient\/government projects, short and long term development contracts, product failure analysis, and factory troubleshooting, and so on.

Avoiding mathematical theory, except when absolutely necessary, this authoritative handbook empowers the reader to achieve good results with their plastic mixing. Mixing in Single Screw Extrusion will be a valuable resource to all involved in the art of plastic extrusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lot of plastics products are extruded and most of those products contain additives, which mean that the plastic must be mixed at some point. Mixing is generally done with a twin-screw extruder, and the single-screw extruder, which is used in product production, is generally overlooked as a device for mixing. This reference handbook, written by a former Principal Consultant at Smithers Rapra, and the inventor of the cavity transfer mixer, redresses the balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtrusion is used for about half of all plastics product manufacture, mostly using single screw extruders. Very often part of their role is the incorporation of one or more of a very wide range of additives, mainly in the form of masterbatches. These range from very visible colours to the invisible traces of anti-block and slip additives. There are also continuing pressures to improve overall economics and these require increased mixing performance in many cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the growing pressures to increase the amount of plastics recycling, both the limitations and success in blending the mainly incompatible polymer combinations are explained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe development of 'add-on' cavity mixers and floating ring mixers, together with their methodology are described, whilst the associated innovative techniques using a liquid injection of colours, tackifiers, lubricants, crosslinking agents and foaming agents, (particularly carbon dioxide) are included. Developments in controlled levels of blending by 'chaotic mixing' to produce products with very specific properties such as barrier films are briefly described.\u003cbr\u003eExtrusion tests for carbon black dispersion are included and the book concludes with a practical guide to the preparation of microtomed plastics specimens for evaluation by optical microscopy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 The Need for Good Mixing in Single Screw Extrusion\u003cbr\u003e2 Dispersive and Distributive Mixing\u003cbr\u003e3 Measurement of Mixing\u003cbr\u003e4 Single Screw Extruder Stages: Effects of Mixing\u003cbr\u003e5 Pellet Handling: A source of Variable Composition\u003cbr\u003e6 Solids Conveying in the Feed\/Transport Zone\u003cbr\u003e7 Melting\u003cbr\u003e8 Screw Channel Mixing and the Application of Mixing Sections\u003cbr\u003e9 Interacting Rotor\/Stator Mixers\u003cbr\u003e10 Floating Ring Mixing Devices\u003cbr\u003e11 Static (or Motionless) Mixers\u003cbr\u003e12 Incorporation of Liquid Additives and Dispersions by Direct Addition\u003cbr\u003e13 Dispersive Mixing of Fillers and Pigments\u003cbr\u003e14 Dispersive Mixing Applied to Polymer Blending\u003cbr\u003e15 Compounding with Single Screw Extruders\u003cbr\u003eAppendix - Preparation of Microtome Sections for Assessment of Dispersive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nAfter graduating in chemical technology, specialising in plastics, Martin Gale's first involvement in mixing and extrusion was as the plastics technologist in a new plant being set up to produce UPVC pipes in 1959. After two years he joined the Rubber and Plastics Research Association (later to become Rapra Technology). After working on glass fibre\/matrix bonding and antistatic agents, he became a member of the newly formed plastics section, eventually becoming responsible for plastics processing. The work was a mix of industrial multiclient\/government projects, short and long term development contracts, product failure analysis, and factory troubleshooting, and so on. Several projects resulted in pilot scale manufacturing at the Association's laboratories using innovative techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince retiring in 2000, he has been involved in consultancy work, training courses, and advising on extrusion foaming and mixing as a visiting professor at the University of Bradford.
