Now in its third edition, this is the first book to shed light on the critical role the melt delivery system plays in successful injection molding. This successful book will give you an immediate leg up by reducing mold commissioning times, increasing productivity, improving customer satisfaction, and achieving quality goals such as Six Sigma.

The goal of the book is to assist the designer in the development of parts that are functional, reliable, manufacturable, and aesthetically pleasing. Since injection molding is the most widely used manufacturing process for the production of plastic parts, a full understanding of the integrated design process presented is essential to achieving economic and functional design goals. Features over 425 drawings and photographs.

Plastics production comprises the main process steps 'synthesis (reaction)', 'preparation/compounding' at the raw material manufacturer and compounder, and 'processing' (shaping into semi-finished or finished products). In this handbook, the central middle step, preparation and compounding, is discussed.

An injection mold is the heart of any plastics molding workcell. Understanding the principles of an injection mold design and its importance is fundamental to the success of the product. This book takes the reader through the process of conceptualizing and designing an injection mold that will produce the desired plastic part.

Rheology is applied extensively in polymer, chemical, food processing, and related industries. This book combines the basic concepts and applications by presenting a balanced overview of the principles. With simplified analysis of complex problems, this textbook format provides easy understanding for both students and practicing professionals.

Demonstrates the influence and mutual interaction of the parameters involved in the production of fiber composite components. The book gives an overview of the current state of prepreg technology generation and development, as well as their variations and trends.

Plastic materials continue to play a vital and growing role in packaging applications. It is thus more important than ever that all involved in the packaging industry command a basic understanding of the properties of the common packaging plastics. This highly regarded book provides just that to students and packaging professionals alike.

This highly practical troubleshooting guide solves problems at the machine systematically and quickly. Drawing on a wealth of hands-on experience from the authors, who have built strong reputations in the field, the book is structured by type of problem/solution.

Plastics flammability is a highly important consideration in many industries, including construction, mass transportation, and electrical and electronic equipment. This comprehensive handbook is unrivalled as the definitive source of information on the reaction of plastics to fire, as well as on the relevant regulations and testing methods.

In the rubber industry, one of the most widely practiced processes is the reinforcement of rubber by particulate fillers, especially carbon black and silica. This book covers the most important theoretical and practical aspects of rubber reinforcement.

Serves as a key guide for designers, organizations, governments, companies, or anybody else with an interest in a sustainable future. Ecodesign is explained for what it is and how it fits with the necessity for a sustainable planet; it is shown to be a coherent and practical process; and the impact of the ecodesign approach is elaborated.

This compact glossary in eight languages (English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese) contains more than 2300 terms related to the chemistry, properties, testing, and processing of plastic materials. It was created to help bridge the language barriers within the international plastics manufacturing community.

Shows the true and often-underestimated market potential of plastics recycling, with analysis from economic, ecological, and technical perspectives. The book is aimed at both technical and non-technical readers, including decision makers in material suppliers, plastic product manufacturers, governmental agencies, educators, and anyone with a gener

Provides a necessary bridge between the values of engineering end-use parameters of polyethylene resins and their scientific molecular and structural characteristics. The main goal is to translate such common parameters into the universal language of polymer science.

Provides a hands-on approach to making carbon fibers and their composites for those who need to use these materials. The book gives an excellent overview of the chemical and physical properties of carbon fibers and their composites. In addition, common test and analysis methods for demonstrating these properties are presented.

Provides a sophisticated insight into the development of the plastics industry in terms of digitalization and Industry 4.0. The background to these topics is discussed along with provision of the prerequisite knowledge regarding process complexity and modeling as well as data acquisition to build the foundation of data driven digital processes.

Prior extrusion books are based on barrel rotation physics. This is the first book that focuses on the actual physics of the process - screw rotation physics. In the first nine chapters, theories and maths models are developed. Then, these models are used to solve actual commercial problems in the remainder of the book.

Introduces the fundamentals of rheology and rheometry as the basis for modelling and computer-aided design in plastics processing. The logically structured content enables the reader to intelligently use the tools of computer-aided design and modelling of plastics processing, with correct interpretation of the results.

Provides the theoretical and practical background to design and use discontinuous fiber-reinforced polymer materials, with an emphasis on structural parts for the automotive industry. Moreover, the product of years of collaborative work between industry and academia is presented in an easy-to-use, comprehensive manner.

Troubleshooting extrusion problems is one of the most challenging tasks in extrusion operations, requiring a good understanding of the extrusion process and the material properties, good instrumentation, good analysis tools, and a systematic and logical approach. This book addresses all issues crucial in extrusion troubleshooting.

Understanding the elastic properties of polymer melts is necessary for ensuring successful polymer processing and thus producing high-quality plastic parts. This book is the first to focus on this important topic.

Provides a structured methodology and scientific basis for engineering injection molds. The topics are presented in a top-down manner, beginning with introductory definitions and the big picture before proceeding to layout and detailed design of molds. The book provides very pragmatic analysis with worked examples that can be readily adapted to real-world product design applications.

A practical guide to cost-effective formulating of rubber compounds to achieve optimal processing and performance. The book provides a thorough discussion of the principles of rubber compounding, rubber testing, and how various compound changes will affect different properties and test measurements.

Engineering of polymers is not an easy exercise: with evolving technology, it often involves complex concepts and processes. This book is intended to provide the theoretical essentials: understanding of processes, a basis for the use of design software, and much more.

Initially published "to bridge the gap between theory and practice in extrusion", this fifth edition of Polymer Extrusion continues to serve the practicing polymer engineer and chemist, providing the theoretical and the practical tools for successful extrusion operations. In its revised and expanded form, it also incorporates the latest developments in extrusion theory and machinery.
