Advances in Polymer Processing: Macro- to Nano-Scales (Woodhead Publishing in Materials): From Macro- To Nano- Scales (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Processing techniques are critical to the performance of polymer products, which are used in a wide range of industries. This book provides a comprehensive review of polymer processing, focussing on recent developments in techniques and materials. Thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers, foams and nanocomposites are all discussed; multiphase systems are considered from macro to nano scales. Developments in established techniques are reviewed, such as extrusion technologies, injection moulding and blow moulding, in addition to recently developed processing technologies, such as those using supercritical fluids, micromoulding and reactive processing. Finally post-processing techniques are discussed, as well as analysis of the moulding process.
Key Features: Reviews the latest advances in polymer processing, techniques and materials analysing new challenges and opportunities. Discusses the fundamentals of polymer processing considering the compounding and mixing of polymers as well as extrusion. Assesses alternative processing technologies including calendaring and coating and thermoforming of polymers. Examines the moulding process and post-processing technologies with particular focus on online monitoring and computer modelling of polymers.
