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. Processing techniques are critical to the performance of polymer products which are used in a wide range of industries. Advances in polymer processing: From macro- to nano- scales reviews the latest advances in polymer processing, techniques and materials. Part one reviews the fundamentals of polymer processing with chapters on rheology, materials and polymer extrusion. Part two then discusses advances in moulding technology with chapters on such topics as compression, rotational and blow moulding of polymers. Chapters in Part three review alternative processing technologies such as calendaring and coating, foam processing and radiation processing of polymers. Part four discusses micro and nano-technologies with covera.
Part 1 Introduction: Recent advances in polymer processing: the state of the art, new challenges and opportunities -- Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and polymer rheology -- Polymeric materials: elastomers, plastics, fibers, composites, nanocomposites and blends -- Compounding and mixing of polymers -- Screw extrusion in polymer processing -- Reactive extrusion of polymers. Part 2 Moulding technology: Injection moulding of polymers -- Rotational moulding of polymers -- Blow moulding of polymers. Part 3 Alternative processing technologies: Liquid resin and polymer solution processing -- Calendering and coating of polymers -- Thermoforming of polymers -- Polymer processing using supercritical fluids -- Radiation processing of polymers -- Novel processing additives for extrusion and injection moulding of polymers. Part 4 Micro and nanotechnologies: Preparing rubber based nanocomposites through compounding and vulcanization -- Micromoulding of polymers -- Reactive polymer processing.
