Moreover, the product of years of collaborative work between industry and academia is presented in an easy-to-use, comprehensive manner.

Evolved gas analysis is often used in direct combination with chemical analysis techniques such as gas chromatography, IR spectroscopy, or mass spectrometry, and/or with thermogravimetric analysis. This book focuses on these "hyphenated techniques", which allow a great deal of chemical information about a sample to be revealed quickly.

Troubleshooting extrusion problems is one of the most challenging tasks in extrusion operations, requiring a good understanding of the extrusion process and the material properties, good instrumentation, good analysis tools, and a systematic and logical approach. This book addresses all issues crucial in extrusion troubleshooting.

Covers the entire spectrum of the plastics technology/engineering, from raw material to finished plastic products. The book is intended not just for university/college students in plastics technology and other engineering disciplines but also for beginners to the field in general.

Understanding of polymer interactions is important for effective processing of plastics and their blends, mixing with nanoparticles, and understanding of their mechanical and physical properties. This book describes a physics of interactions in polymers that challenges existing theories, and explains the concept of entanglement in a different way.

Presents single-screw extrusion technology together with the relevant polymer fundamentals, with an emphasis on screw design. The presentation begins on a physical level, providing an in-depth conceptual understanding, followed by an analytical level with mathematical models.
