Birley, Arthur W.

Chemistry

A detailed knowledge of the physical properties of plastics is essential to understanding and extending their use. This book promotes the relationship between processing parameters and product performance by first examining morphology in terms of texture and orientation.  The basic structure of plastics is explained, along with the characterization of both polymer and plastics products. Thermal and melt properties relevant to processing are considered, and the principal shaping methods are outlined, highlighting the large number of variables.  The key areas of deformation and fracture are given extensive treatment.  Engineers and chemists as well as physicists and technicians in the industry will find this book extremely valuable to their research.

Long available as a standard reference in Germany, this valuable guide for engineers is now in a new English-language translation. It provides, in one convenient source, a comprehensive overview of the properties and applications of the huge range of plastics that are of current technical and commercial interest. The book fills a gap in the literature by providing easily accessible information for design engineers, plastics consultants, chemists, physicists, production engineers, students, and teachers--all those who need a reliable source of descriptions and data to assist them in identifying suitable materials. All polymers of current interest are accounted for, including liquid crystalline polymers, electrically conductive polymers, recently developed polyamides, and fluorpolymers, with up-to-date trade names given for each group. The information is presented concisely in the form of texts, tables and graphs. Design engineers will appreciate the large number of data presented as isochronous stress/strain curves. This is truly a unique reference that will benefit the wide number of professionals who depend on specific and detailed data concerning properties, conversion conditions, applications, and health effects

This book is intended to teach the beginning engineer the principles of rubber science and technology, explaining what rubber is, how it behaves, and how to design simple engineering components.  It deals with the basic principles on which successful use of rubber depends, answering the key questions facing all engineers intending to use rubber compounds: How is an elastomer chosen and a formulation developed?  Why is rubber highly elastic and relatively strong? How can one estimate the stiffness and strength of a product? How can one guarantee high quality and durability?  The authors describe current practice in rubber engineering and, in many cases, they give sample problems and questions to allow readers to gauge how well they have mastered the material. The contents of the book could easily be incorporated into a senior undergraduate or beginning graduate course in materials science and engineering.

Engineering With Rubber: How to Design Rubber Components

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.

As requirements for product and surface quality and variety become more stringent in the plastics industry, the emphasis on various decorating processes increases. Different surface qualities, structures and decorations can now be achieved by a wide range of techniques, and most plastics products need some kind of after-treatment to achieve their final finish. Decorating Plastics constitutes an important exploration of this increasingly important area of the plastics industry.
