Synopsis

This book provides the background needed to understand not only the wide field of polymer processing but also the emerging technologies associated with the plastics industry in the 21st century. The book combines practical engineering concepts with modeling of realistic polymer processes. It is divided into three sections that provide sufficient knowledge of polymer materials, polymer processing, and modeling for the reader. "Understanding Polymer Processing" is intended for the person who is entering the plastics manufacturing industry and--as a textbook--for students taking an introductory course in polymer processing. This three-part book also serves as a guide to the practicing engineer when choosing a process, determining important parameters and factors during the early stages of process design, and when optimizing such a process. Practical examples illustrating basic concepts are presented throughout the book.
