Plastic Forming Processes

Plastics may undergo an industrial treatment for many reasons including strength, chemical inertness, biodegradability, and heat resistance. Providing an overview of the various treatments utilized in the plastics industry, this title examines the numerous treatments in use as well as the differences in treatments based on the type of plastic and the type of component being treated. Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–2): Chapter 2 Polymers (pages 3–22): Chapter 3 Converting Processes (pages 23–175): Chapter 4 Assembly and Fixations (pages 177–198): Chapter 5 Finishing Treatments (pages 199–229): Chapter 6 Ecology and Recycling (pages 231–238): Chapter 7 Mold Making (pages 239–250): Chapter 8 Economic Data (pages 251–258): Chapter 9 Trends (pages 259–268): "Many books covering plastic materials analyze the behavior of these materials based on their chemical components or their mechanical properties from mathematical concepts. These approaches, which are fundamental for research, do not concern "transformers" or users who need practical advice. Nevertheless, there are approximately 20 basic implementation techniques and each of them is distinguished by specific case studies which gradually become more functional." "The aim of this book is therefore to analyze, in a quasi-exhaustive manner, the different processes which are currently in use or are being created in either design, coupling or treatments that are specifically used. It is thus written to assist readers in their decision-making." "In order to explain these different points in a practical, even pragmatic, way, the reader will find approximately 400 figures or photos that describe the points."--Jacket
