In the revised, second edition of this popular, accessible handbook, the most recent developments and applications in the area of designing and manufacturing extrusion dies is documented. There have been many developments and refinements in this area due to the continuously growing demand for improved quality and increased productivity, as well as emerging new polymers and products. This volume provides a comprehensive accounting of the full range of dies used for extrusion of plastics and elastomers. The distinctive features of the various types of die are described in detail. Advice on the configuration of dies is given, and the possibilities of computer-aided design, as well as its limitations, are demonstrated. The fundamentals and computational procedures are so well explained that the reader needs no special prior knowledge of the subject. The book also covers the mechanical configuration, handling, and maintenance of extrusion dies. Calibration procedures for pipes and profiles are also dealt with. An extensive, up-to-date list of references, as well as recommendations for further reading round out this comprehensive, practical volume. Die and mold designers, and mechanical engineers, instructors, and students in the polymer processing industry will find this work an outstanding orientation guide to the field of extrusion dies.

Widespread environmental concerns coupled with dwindling waste-management options have led to a growing demand for recycling programs in countless communities across the United States. This book describes today's plastics recycling technology, offering a wealth of information in one convenient resource. An introductory chapter gives an overview of the field, its terminology, and the existing organizations and university programs involved in recycling. The following chapters describe processes for reclaiming specific and commingled plastics, with the actual recycling processes presented in considerable detail. Topics addressed include the chemistry, engineering, and economics involved; specialized equipment; collecting and sorting procedures; and new research and development activities. Patents and publications are referenced throughout. The book is uniquely organized according to resin types for easy access. This is an indispensable resource for plastics and materials engineers, technicians, entrepreneurs, and city-planning personnel who are either involved in on-going recycling operations or who need the facts for setting up such a service.
