Applied Plastics Engineering Handbook - Processing and Materials
The expert contributors to this new handbook demystify new technologies and materials and present the fundamentals of plastics engineering for optimal engineering and business decisions.
Key Features
• Practical introductions to both core topics and new developments make this work equally valuable for newly qualified plastics engineers seeking the practical rules-of-thumb they don’t teach you in school, and experienced practitioners evaluating new technologies or getting up to speed on a new field.
The depth and detail of the coverage of new developments enable engineers and managers to gain knowledge of, and evaluate, new technologies and materials in key growth areas such as biomaterials and nanotechnology.
This highly practical handbook is set apart from other references in the field, is written by engineers for an audience of engineers and providing a wealth of real-world examples, best practice guidance, and rules-of-thumb.
Quotes
An authoritative source of practical advice for engineers, providing authoritative guidance from experts that will lead to cost savings and process improvements. Throughout the book, the focus is on the engineering aspects of producing and using plastics. The properties of plastics are explained along with techniques for testing, measuring, enhancing and analyzing them. Materials and additives are described as well as their characteristics and effects. The technologies and machinery used in processing operations are covered with reference to product design. And recent developments in a cross-section of applications demonstrate in a pragmatic way, the opportunities as well as the limitations of plastics."--Biospace.com

Also, a great deal of research concentrates on using specially developed structural features for the betterment of properties of their materials. Many excellent products of today cannot be made without the application of the knowledge discussed in this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsers of the book will find that most of the research included was done between 2009 and today, which underlines the value of these findings, considering that many problems of the past are no longer important today because they were not only solved but already implemented in product manufacture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy goal was to produce a book which can add value to the previously published volume since so many things have changed in the last thirty years. This book has no boundaries of application because it is clear from the analysis of a large number of research projects that structural knowledge and practical ideas are useful in very different applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Material composition, structure, and morphological features\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Materials having predominantly homogeneous structure and composition \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Heterogeneous materials \u003cbr\u003e2.2.1 Crystalline forms and amorphous regions \u003cbr\u003e2.2.2 Materials containing insoluble additives \u003cbr\u003e2.2.3 Materials containing immiscible phases \u003cbr\u003e2.2.4 Composites \u003cbr\u003e2.2.5 Multi-component layered materials \u003cbr\u003e2.2.6 Foams, porosity \u003cbr\u003e2.2.7 Compressed solids \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Material surface versus bulk \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 Effect of processing on material structure \u003cbr\u003e3.1 Temperature \u003cbr\u003e3.2 Pressure \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Time\u003cbr\u003e3.4 Viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.5 Flow rate (shear rate) \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Deformation \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Orientation \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 Scale of damage – basic concept \u003cbr\u003e4.1 Atomic \u003cbr\u003e4.2 Microscale \u003cbr\u003e4.3 Macroscale \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 Microscopic mechanisms of damage caused by degradants \u003cbr\u003e5.1 Bulk (mechanical forces) \u003cbr\u003e5.1.1 Elastic-brittle fracture \u003cbr\u003e5.1.2 Elastic-plastic deformation \u003cbr\u003e5.1.3 Time-related damage \u003cbr\u003e5.1.3.1 Fatigue \u003cbr\u003e5.1.3.2 Creep \u003cbr\u003e5.1.4 Impact damage \u003cbr\u003e5.1.5 Shear fracture \u003cbr\u003e5.16 Compression set \u003cbr\u003e5.1.7 Bending forces \u003cbr\u003e5.1.8 Anisotropic damage \u003cbr\u003e5.2 Electric forces \u003cbr\u003e5.2.1 Tracking \u003cbr\u003e5.2.2 Arcing \u003cbr\u003e5.2.3 Drying out in batteries \u003cbr\u003e5.2.4 Pin-holes \u003cbr\u003e5.2.5 Cracks\u003cbr\u003e5.2.6 Delamination \u003cbr\u003e5.3 Surface-initiated damage \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1 Physical forces \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.1 Thermal treatment \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.1.1 Process heat \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.1.2 Conditions of performance \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.1.3 Infrared \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.1.4 Frictional heat \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.1.5 Low-temperature effects \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.1.6 Thermal stresses \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.2 Radiation \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.2.1 Alpha and beta rays \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.2.2 Gamma rays \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.2.3 Laser beam \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.2.4 Cosmic rays \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.2.5 Plasma \u003cbr\u003e5.3.1.3 Weathering \u003cbr\u003e5.3.2 Mechanical action \u003cbr\u003e5.3.2.1 Scratching \u003cbr\u003e5.3.2.2 Impact \u003cbr\u003e5.3.2.3 Adhesive failure, sliding, rolling \u003cbr\u003e5.3.3 Chemical reactions \u003cbr\u003e5.3.3.1 Molecular oxygen \u003cbr\u003e5.3.3.2 Ozone \u003cbr\u003e5.3.3.3 Atomic oxygen \u003cbr\u003e5.3.3.4 Sulfur dioxide \u003cbr\u003e5.3.3.5 Particulate matter \u003cbr\u003e5.3.3.6 Other gaseous pollutants \u003cbr\u003e5.4 Combination of degrading elements \u003cbr\u003e5.4.1 Environmental stress cracking \u003cbr\u003e5.4.2 Biodegradation and biodeterioration \u003cbr\u003e5.4.3 Effect of body fluids \u003cbr\u003e5.4.4 Controlled–release substances in pharmaceutical applications \u003cbr\u003e5.4.5 Corrosion\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nGeorge Wypych has a Ph.

The techniques available for composition determination of homopolymers and copolymers and other recent modern techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, microthermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis using X-rays are also included. The structure and microstructure of polymers, copolymers and rubbers are dealt with in Volume 2. More detailed aspects, such as sequencing of monomer units in copolymers, end-group analysis, tacticity and stereochemical determinations, are also dealt with in this subsequent volume. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book gives an up-to-date and thorough exposition of the state-of-the-art theories and availability of instrumentation needed to effect chemical and physical analysis of polymers.
