Beschreibung
* Introduction to Plastics * Fundamentals * Plastic Materials Engineering: melt behavior, solid-state behavior, influence of additives, from polymer to plastic through compounding, process-structure properties, influence of aging, overview of important plastics * Plastic Processing Technology: extrusion, injection molding, processing of crosslinked molding compound, fiber-plastic composites, thermoforming, welding, bonding, coating * Product Development with Plastics: unique features of plastics, geometrical classification of plastic parts, designing with plastics, usage of prototypes * Plastics and the Environment * Recommendations for Writing a Bachelors/Masters Thesis
This introductory book covers the entire spectrum of the plastics technology/engineering, from raw material to finished plastic products. It is intended not just for university/college students in plastics technology and other engineering disciplines but also for beginners to the field in general. The interconnectivity between the different relevant knowledge areas of plastics technology, such as materials engineering, processing technology, and product development, is emphasized. A chapter Plastics and the Environment is also included, covering a topic (rightly) often of great concern to students and newcomers to the field. Also includes numerous videos, conveniently linked via QR codes, to better demonstrate key processes visually.
