A plastic is a polymeric material that is in a semi-liquid state, having the property of plasticity and exhibiting flow. The nature of plastic materials poses unique challenges to an engineer. Mechanical properties of plastics are often difficult to quantify, and the plastics engineer has to design a product that meets certain specifications while keeping costs to a minimum. Other properties that the plastics engineer has to address include; outdoor weatherability, thermal properties such as upper use temperature, electrical properties, barrier properties, and resistance to chemical attack. In plastics engineering, as in most engineering disciplines, the economics of a product plays an important role. The cost of plastic materials ranges from the cheapest commodity plastics used in mass produced consumer products to the very expensive, specialty plastics. The cost of a plastic product is measured in different ways, and the absolute cost of a plastic material is difficult to ascertain. Cost is often measured in price per pound of material, or price per unit volume of material. In many cases however, it is important for a product to meet certain specifications, and cost could then be measured in price per unit of a property. Price with respect to processibility is often important, as some materials need to be processed at very high temperatures, increasing the amount of cooling time a part needs. In a large production run cooling time is very expensive.Chapter 1 - Elastomer and Blow Molding --Chapter 2 - Epoxy -- Chapter 3 - Injection Molding -- Chapter 4 - Plastics Extrusion -- Chapter 5 - Thermoforming and Transfer Molding -- Chapter 6 - Fiberglass Molding and Pultrusion -- Chapter 7 - Filament Winding and Vacuum Forming -- Chapter 8 - Ultrasonic Welding -- Chapter 9 - Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene and Polysulfone -- Chapter 10 - Polycarbonate -- Chapter 11 - Polyethylene Terephthalate -- Chapter 12 - Polyimide and Polyoxymethylene -- Chapter 13 - Rotational Molding.This book has been written with the purpose of covering all aspects about Plastics Engineering.Plastics engineering encompasses the processing, design, development, and manufacture of plastics products.
