This book bridges the gap between theory and practice in the extrusion field. Now in its fifth edition, the best-selling Polymer Extrusion continues to provide valuable, up-to-date information for polymer engineers and chemists who need both theoretical and practical tools for successful extrusion operations. Since the last edition in 2001, there have been many new developments in the field and are incorporated in this edition. New, Updated Content •Chapter 2: A discussion on high speed single screw extruders has been added. •Chapter 7: An innovative theory is presented that allows prediction of melt temperatures without having to result to numerical techniques and computer simulation. •Chapter 8: Now includes information on the efficient extrusion of medical devices; this section discusses optimal manufacturing practices, screw designs, and processing conditions. •Chapter 11: The section on gels has been expanded and now includes information on discolored specks, how to predict their occurrence and frequency, as well as instruments to detect defects in pellets. •New information has been added throughout and references have been updated.

Polymer surface modification has been studied extensively, but relatively little attention has been paid to surface activation technologies that, when appropriately utilized, make specific polymer-based surfaces receptive to value-adding interfaces such as inks, coatings, and adhesive formulations. The aim of this book is to describe the primary polymer adhesion issues faced by manufacturers, processors, and converters, to outline a variety of methods for attaining an appropriately activated surface, and to provide the diagnostics for various adhesion promotion issues, with troubleshooting guidelines. The second edition greatly expands the coverage of chemical plasma discharge, including technical updates and clarifications, and new developments concerning additional base materials.

Wolf, Rory

This book gives an overview of flame retardants, which are either in commercial use or in advanced stage of market development, reviewed polymer-by-polymer, supplemented by a brief overview of mode of action and interaction. It is more of a how-to book rather than an academic study. As such, it names trademarked materials as well as products that are in an active stage of development, gives suggestions for selecting among alternatives, provides suggested formulations, and offesr a starting point for the compounder or plastics fabricator to pass commercial flammability requirements. Contents: Introduction to Flame Retardants. Overview of Mode of Action and Interaction. Polyolefins. Styrenics. PVC. Polyamides. Engineering thermoplastics. Unsaturated polyesters and Vinyl Esters.

Finite Element Analysis is the leading engineer’s tool to analyze structures concerning engineering mechanics (e.g., statics, heat flows, eigenvalue problems). This book provides well-chosen aspects of this method so that both students and practitioners can apply this knowledge immediately to the solution of practical problems. Over 30 examples, along with all input data files on DVD, allow a comprehensive practical training of engineering mechanics. Two powerful FEA programs are provided on DVD: Z88, the open source finite elements program for static calculations, as well as Z88Aurora, the ready-to-use, powerful freeware finite elements program that can also be used for non-linear calculations, stationary heat flows, and eigenproblems (i.e., natural frequencies). Both are full versions with which arbitrarily big structures can be computed – only limited by your computer memory and your imagination. For Z88 all sources are fully available, so that the reader can study the theoretical aspects in the program code and extend it if necessary. Z88 and Z88Aurora are ready-to-run for Windows and LINUX as well as for Mac OS X. For Android devices there is an app called Z88Tina that can be downloaded from Google Play Store.

This book provides an excellent tool for both seasoned part designers and novices to the field, facilitating cost effective design decisions and ensuring that the plastic parts and products will stand up under use. The detailed, yet simplified discussion of material selection, manufacturing techniques, and assembly procedures enables the reader to evaluate plastic materials and to adequately design plastic parts for assembly. This book describes good joint design and implementation, the geometry and nature of the component parts, the types of load involved, and other basic information necessary in order to work successfully in this filed. Throughout, the treatment is practice-oriented and focused on everyday problems and situations.
