Handbook Of Plastic Technology Identification Testing Recycling Of Plastics Vol Ii Hb

This book discusses some of the state-of-the-art techniques of recycling post-consumer plastic materials and focuses on mechanical recycling, chemical recycling and energy recovery. The book is intended for all those who are interested in recycling of post consumer plastic waste. Although, this book discusses technical aspects of recycling, the authors have endeavoured to make this book easily understandable to anyone interested in the subject enabling the reader to gain a thorough grounding in all the subjects discussed.

Characteristics of polymers and polymerization processes -- Fabrication processes -- Plastic properties and testing -- Industrial polymers -- Polymers in special uses -- Recycling and disposal of waste plastics -- Trends in polymer applications

Provides an overview of state-of-the-art recycling techniques together with current and potential applications. Presents material that is normally only available in the form of conference proceedings Includes flow charts detailing the recycling process Helps identify the problems encountered in the recycling of polymers Presents pie graphs and photographs of commercial outlets A comprehensive volume which will prove to be invaluable for polymer manufacturers, recyclers and marketers as well as environmental authorities and materials engineers.

Provides a simplified, practical and innovative approach to understanding the design and manufacture of plastic products. This book sets out the basic principles of polymers, what they are and how plastics are formulated, processed, and manufactured.

State-of-the-art guide to plastic product design, manufacture and application. Edited by Charles A. Harper and sponsored by Modern Plastics, the industry's most prestigious trade magazine, Modern Plastics Handbook packs a wealth of up-to-date knowledge about plastics processes, forms and formulations, design, equipment, testing and recycling. This A-to-Z guide keeps you on top of: *Properties and performance of thermoplastics, polymer blends...thermosets, reinforced plastics and composites...natural and synthetic elastomers *Processes from extrusion, injection and blow molding to thermoforming, foam processing, hand lay-up and filament winding, and many, many more *Fabricating...post-production finishing and bonding...coatings and finishes, subjects difficult to find treated elsewhere in print *More!

For plastics, technicians, engineers, and technical customer service representatives who need to identify at least the general class of a mystery plastic but do not have access to the sophisticated and expensive equipment used by the plastics industry. Braun has successfully carried out all of the tests. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
