An outstanding and thorough presentation of the complete fieldof plastics processing
Handbook of Plastic Processes is the only comprehensivereference covering not just one, but all major processes used toproduce plastic products-helping designers and manufacturers inselecting the best process for a given product while enabling usersto better understand the performance characteristics of eachprocess.
The authors, all experts in their fields, explain in clear,concise, and practical terms the advantages, uses, and limitationsof each process, as well as the most modern and up-to-datetechnologies available in their application.
Coverage includes chapters on:
* Injection molding
* Compression and transfer molding
* Sheet extrusion
* Blow molding
* Calendering
* Foam processing
* Reinforced plastics processing
* Liquid resin processing
* Rotational molding
* Thermoforming
* Reaction injection molding
* Compounding, mixing, and blending
* Machining and mechanical fabrication
* Assembly, finishing, and decorating
Each chapter details a particular process, its variations, theequipment used, the range of materials utilized in the process, andits advantages and limitations.
Because of its increasing impact on the industry, the editor hasalso added a chapter on nanotechnology in plastics processing.
