This comprehensive handbook provides a simplified, practical and innovative approach to understanding the design and manufacture of plastic products. It will expand the reader's understanding of plastics technology by defining and focusing on past, current, and future technical trends. Published in 2 volumes, the content is presented so that both technical and non-technical readers can understand the interrelationships of materials to processes. Different plastic products are examined and their related critical factors are shown, from meeting performance requirements in different environments, to reducing costs and targeting for zero defects. Examples used include small to large, and simple to complex shapes. Information is included on static properties (tensile, flexural), dynamic properties (creep, fatigue, impact) and physical and chemical properties. Extensive reference sources and useful data and physical and chemical constants are also provided. Volume 1 sets out the basic principles of polymers, what they are and how plastics are formulated, processed, and manufactured.

Plastic technology is one of the fields where people can show their ability and performance both theoretically and practically. The Indian plastic and polymer industry has taken great strides. In the last few decades, the industry has grown to the status of a leading sector in the country with a sizable base. The material is gaining notable importance in different spheres of activity and the per capita consumption is increasing at a fast pace. Continuous advancements and developments in polymer technology, processing machineries, expertise and cost effective manufacturing is fast replacing the typical materials in different segments with plastics. Some examples of the specialty plastics are polytetra fluoroethylene (PTFE) , thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), polysulphones (PSO), polyester sulphone (PES), polyarylates, polyamide imide (PAI), etc. Polyurethane is polymer composed of a chain of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links. Polyurethane polymers are formed by combining two bi or higher functional monomers. Urethane foam is an artificial material with several different uses. The manufacturing process can produce foams of varying densities and flexibilities. This means it can serve functions as diverse as bedding, packaging and footwear. It is important to note that urethane foam is most commonly used to refer to a material made from polyurethane. Furniture, bedding, automotive interiors, energy management, footwear and insulation utilize flexible foam technology due to its wide range of density, cushioning ability and versatility of use. Appliance (refrigeration, water heaters), construction panels, roofing boardstock, and spray applied insulation utilize rigid polyurethane foam due its superior insulating and mechanical properties to reduce energy consumption and enhance structural integrity of the finished product. The versatility of the technology and processability makes rigid polyurethane foam uniquely suited for other applications, like architectural molding, energy absorbing materials in automobiles, entry doors, and even picnic coolers. Polymer Energy system is an award winning, innovative, proprietary process to convert waste plastics into renewable energy. Polymers are the most rapidly growing sector of the materials industry. Some fundamentals of the book are properties and applications of speciality plastics, thermoplastic polyurethanes, formation of urethane foams, flexible foams, variables in the preparation of prepolymers, procedures for the preparation of prepolymers, catalyzed prepolymer preparation, application of flexible foams, applications of rigid foams, one-stage injection stretch blow moulding, pet material and applications, injection and co-injection preform technologies, pet film and sheet, plastics as safe & hygienic medium for packaging food & food products. The book covers processes and other required information for the manufacturing of different specialty plastics, Foams, PET and Pre form PET etc. This is very useful book for new entrepreneurs, technocrats, existing units, institutional libraries etc. TAGS Applications of speciality plastics, Business guidance for PET Preform and Plastics industry, Business guidance to clients, Business Plan for a Startup Business, Business start-up, Flexible and Rigid Foams, Flexible Polyurethane Foam, Flexible Polyurethane Foam: Industry, Foam manufacturing process, Foam production process, Formation of urethane foams, How polyurethane foam is made, How polyurethane foam is made, How to make polyurethane foam, How to Start a Foam Production Company, How to Start a PET Preform Production Business, How to Start a Plastic Recycling Manufacturing Business, How to Start a Specialty plastic Manufacturing Business?, How to start a successful PET Preform business, How to Start Specialty plastic Processing Industry in India, Indian polyurethane foam market, Manufacturing of Flexible Foams, Manufacturing of Foams, Manufacturing of Injection and Co-Injection Preform, Manufacturing of Pet & Preform, Manufacturing of Pet Film and Sheet, Manufacturing of Plastic products, Manufacturing of Preform bottles, Manufacturing of Rigid Foams, Manufacturing of Urethane Foams, Manufacturing Polyurethane foams, Most Profitable Specialty plastic Processing Business Ideas, New business model for specialty plastics, New small scale ideas in Specialty plastic processing industry, PE foam, PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) sheets, PET Bottle Making, PET Preform and Plastics Business, PET Preform Based Small Scale Industries Projects, PET Preform making machine factory, PET Preform Making Small Business Manufacturing, PET Preform Making, Pet preform manufacturing process, Pet preform manufacturing, PET Preform Plastic Injection Molding, PET Processing - Injection Molding Plastics Technology, Plastic Manufacturing Company - Business Plan, Plastic packaging industry, Plastic Protective Packaging, Polyethylene foam, Polyurethane Rigid Foam manufacturing process, Polyurethanes, Preform Injection Molding Production, Process technology books, Production of Polyurethane Foam, Production of rigid polyurethane foam, Profitable growth with Specialty plastics business, Profitable Small Scale PET Preform and Plastics Manufacturing, Properties of speciality plastics, PU foam manufacturing process, Setting up and opening your Specialty plastic Business, Small scale Commercial PET Preform making, Small scale PET Preform production line, Small Scale Specialty plastic Processing Projects, Speciality Plastics, Specialty plastic Based Profitable Projects, Specialty plastic Processing Industry in India, Specialty plastic Processing Projects, Specialty Plastics and Polymer Additives Businesses, Specialty plastics business, Start Your Own Pet Bottle Business, Starting a PET Preform Business, Starting a plastics product manufacturing, Start-up Business Plan for PET Preform Business, Startup ideas, Startup Project for Specialty plastic Business, Startup

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have the elastic behaviour of rubber and the processability of thermoplastics. The Freedonia Group has forecast that demand will expand by 6.4% per year to around 2.15 million tons in 2006. There is potential for these new, exciting materials to expand into the much larger thermoset rubber markets. This review includes comparisons between the two material types. There are three major types of TPE: block copolymers, rubber/plastic blends and dynamically vulcanised rubber/plastic alloys known as thermoplastic vulcanisates. The chemistry of these materials and how.
