Transforming plastics granules or powder into a finished product requires more than a plastics processor and a machine. In most cases there are chemical reactions involved which strongly influence economics as well as product quality. This book provides plastics processors with critical information on basic chemical reactions and how they can be influenced. Kircher surveys various chemical reactions, including polymerization and polycondensation of monomers and prepolymers during molding, as well as crosslinking of polymers and chemical degradation during processing. He explains in detail which reactions are part of the process and which should be avoided. An excellent reference for all plastics engineers working in the processing industry, this book is designed to be accessible to chemists as well as non-chemists.

Fundamentals of Press Brake Tooling provides insights into properly designing parts that can be formed using a press brake, and it will give the reader a basic understanding of what must be considered in selecting proper tooling, determining minimum machine requirements, using blank size calculations, and arriving at an acceptable bend sequence. Also included is a great deal of diverse information that will save time and money, and allow parts to be produced to a quality acceptable to the final user.

This book will give you an idea how an optimal development process within a vehicle project starting from a design section up to the finished component can look like, if we tap the full parametric-associative potential CATIA V5 offers. Designers who actively develop concepts and components, as well as concept engineers and the management get a global survey how it is possible to standardize and thus to optimise methods and processes in the complete development process of a vehicle project. A basic knowledge in CATIA V5 would in any case be useful and recommended in order to get a better understanding for the described processes and to be able to use the contents as basis of discussion. The author does not go into details of single CATIA functionalities, since a description off functionalities does not stand in the foreground. The aim of this book rather consists in the definition of an optimised process chain in which all process partners have to be involved as effectively as possible. CATIA V5 simply represents the tool helping us to attain this goal. This book arose from real vehicle projects and methodology workshops as well as from the long experience the author has gained in his role as CATIA V5 methodology developer.

From hardware and materials through processing and properties, a broad coverage of blown film extrusion is presented. A primary objective of this book is to ensure a useful balance of theory and practice. The reader will find the answers to “Why?” they encounter certain effects in the blown film process so that they are better able to troubleshoot and improve their operations. At the same time, current practices and equipment are emphasized to keep readers up-to-date with the most productive and efficient technology. The companion CD-ROM, The Blown Film Extrusion Simulator, is provided to enhance the learning process. This software was developed specifically to teach blown film extrusion equipment operation and processing principles. The realistic graphic interface and intuitive operating techniques were designed to emulate actual processing methods so that learners can quickly move from the simulator to real production equipment. Throughout this book, exercises using the simulator are described to complement the methods and principles explained and to enhance the readers understanding of the content.

This work shows how the properties of cured epoxy resins are improved significantly by the addition of surface-modified silica nanoparticles. Addition of nanosilica typically linearly increases both the modulus and the fracture toughness, and compressive strength and fatigue performance can be improved significantly as well. Combining this modification with the classic toughening concept using reactive liquid rubbers or core-shell elastomers leads to hybrid systems, which are characterized by high toughness and stiffness, with further-improved fatigue performance. Laminates manufactured by using these modified resins exhibit improved performance as well. For the fatigue performance of laminates made from hybrid resins a tenfold increase in cyclic loadings upon failure can be achieved. This makes them especially suitable for highly stressed composites parts such as in automotive applications, aerospace, or wind energy.
