Böcker i Plastics Engineering-serien

This book covers piping, buried pipe, duct systems, recommendations for fire safety and smoke, abrasion resistance of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), mechanism of FRP corrosion and deterioration, grounding of FRP systems, and popular fabrication methods of FRP.

This outstanding reference presents an up-to-date account of investigations during the last10 years in the area of injection and compression molding of polymers

Presents techniques for measuring and testing the physical properties of polymers. This book analyses an array of physical parameters and features coverage of mechanical, optical, electrical, and thermal properties. It includes such topics as sample preparation, time-dependent properties, coated fabrics, weathering, and nondestructive testing.

Addressing the two major unit operations-mixing and extrusion-fundamental toprocessing elastomers and plastic materials, this reference summarizes design equationsthat can be employed effectively in scaling up product performance parameters, andcontains a thorough survey of rheological principles

Discusses the inherent properties of polymers and how their end-use properties can be influenced through changes in the molecular architecture or incorporation of various fillers and additives. This book explores the mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal properties of polymers. It also includes a guide for identifying common plastics.

Offers a discussion of different types of molds and dies. This book covers spinning, casting, reinforcing, foaming, compounding, and coating processes as well as powder molding, adhesive bonding, and plastics welding techniques. It also explores the decoration of plastics, key aspects of plastics recycling, and waste recycling problems.
