With 588 images and associated analyses for avoidance of damage to plastics, this manual is aimed at both professionals and students. Many technical terms and colloquial descriptions, explanations, and interconnections with related areas, together with the images, facilitate the reader in determining and describing the exact type of damage of a given sample.

Covers: Basic Principles - historical background, basic material properties, molecular structure, and thermal properties; Influence of Processing on Properties - tying processing and design by discussing rheology of polymer melts, mixing and processing, and development of anisotropy; and Engineering Design Properties - the different properties to be considered when designing a polymer component.

Initially published "to bridge the gap between theory and practice in extrusion", this fifth edition of Polymer Extrusion continues to serve the practicing polymer engineer and chemist, providing the theoretical and the practical tools for successful extrusion operations. In its revised and expanded form, it also incorporates the latest developments in extrusion theory and machinery.

The Finite Element Analysis today is the leading engineer's tool to analyse structures concerning engineering mechanics. This book provides well-chosen aspects of this method for students of engineering sciences and engineers already established in the job so that they can apply this knowledge immediately to solve practical problems.

An essential resource for the plastics engineer who handles the design and construction of tools for different processing methods, from injection molding and blow molding, to prototyping tools, including their computer-aided design. This edition has been completely updated with new chapters including micro injection molds, molds for the rubber industry, and rapid prototyping.

Provides a background in polymer rheology to both engineering students and practicing engineers. The book includes sufficient technical information and practical examples to enable the reader to understand the complex rheological behaviour of polymers, to make the right decisions regarding rheological testing methods, and to troubleshoot rheology related problems encountered in polymer processing.

Oriented towards the practitioner, in this book the basics of additive manufacturing are presented and the properties and special aspects of industrially available machines are discussed. From the generation of data to the forming method, the complete process chain is shown in a practical light.

Improvement of injection molding processes remains a topic of great interest in both industry and research institutions. This book introduces the analysis of the molding process from a systems technology point of view.

Focuses on heat-treating by ASM, SME, and AISI standards. The manual has been created for use in student education, as well as to guide professionals. It is written without the typical metallurgical jargon. This book will serve as a training manual in learning how to heat treat a metal, and serve as a day to day reference.
