One of the greatest challenges in actual extrusion operations is efficient and rapid problem solving. Extrusion problems often result in downtime and/or out-of-spec product, and this can be very costly. However, because of the nature of the extrusion process, it is often quite difficult to determine the cause of the problem and find the proper solution, particularly if it must be done quickly. Despite the industrial importance of extrusion ... wiecej »

This unique introduction covers both low- and high-density thermoplastic foams in an easy-to-follow style, avoiding excursions into the theoretical aspects of foam processing. The book includes information on materials and their properties and all major foam extrusion processes. A considerable part of the volume is taken up by a comprehensive troubleshooting guide, designed to help newcomers as well as seasoned practitioners navigate the ... wiecej »

This book provides a comprehensive and critical review of the science of fiber formation. It focuses on the evolution of microstructure (on the scale of nanometers to micrometers) in relation to forming conditions and molecular properties. This book also surveys the connection between fiber structure and macroscopic properties. It is also of value to those interested in the general phenomena of polymer deformation, orientation, and structure ... wiecej »

Screw extruders are the workhorses of the plastics industry. They are used to pump, mix, carry out chemical reactions, and devolatilize polymer systems. Screw Extrusion helps to obtain an understanding of the underlying principles of operation for screw extrusion equipment, thus helping the engineer in optimizing equipment and enhancing production rates. Most importantly, the book promotes a concise understanding of the processes governing ... wiecej »

The intention of this book is to teach SPC and its application to specific processes in an integrated fashion. Many SPC training programs are taught by people that are very familiar with statistics but know little about process technology. However, successful implementation of SPC requires an understanding of SPC as well as process know-how. This book, therefore, aims to teach not only the principles of SPC but also basic injection molding and ... wiecej »

A growing number of plastics processors gain a competitive edge by utilizing the commercial microcellular process using existing injection molding or extrusion equipment at commercial production rates with low-cost modifications. End users also gain an advantage when the microcellular process is incorporated into product design. Foamed materials produced by microcellular processes offer improved consistency and homogeneity of their cell ... wiecej »
