Handbook of Plastic Processes
An outstanding and thorough presentation of the complete field of plastics processing
Handbook of Plastic Processes is the only comprehensive reference covering not just one, but all major processes used to produce plastic products-helping designers and manufacturers in selecting the best process for a given product while enabling users to better understand the performance characteristics of each process.
The authors, all experts in their fields, explain in clear, concise, and practical terms the advantages, uses, and limitations of each process, as well as the most modern and up-to-date technologies available in their application.
Coverage includes chapters on:
Each chapter details a particular process, its variations, the equipment used, the range of materials utilized in the process, and its advantages and limitations.
Because of its increasing impact on the industry, the editor has also added a chapter on nanotechnology in plastics processing.

But, that's not all. The handbook shows you how to alleviate problems by careful design of the molded part and the mold, careful selection of materials, and proper process techniques. It examines computer-aided methods of forecasting shrinkage and warpage. And, most important of all, the handbook provides representative data to work with. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the most comprehensive collection of shrinkage data ever compiled in a book and includes hard-to-find multi-point information on how materials, part design, mold design processing, and post mold treatment affect the part's shrinkage and warpage.
