Because of the sheer size of the plastics industry, the title
Developments in Plastics Technology now covers an incredibly wide
range of subjects or topics. No single volume can survey the whole
field in any depth and so what follows is therefore a series of
chapters on selected topics. The topics were selected by us, the
editors, because of their immediate relevance to the plastics
industry. When one considers the materials produced and used by the
modern plastics industry, there is a tendency to think of the
commodity thermoplastics (such as poly(vinyl chloride) or
polyethylene); the thermosetting materials are largely ignored.
Because of this attitude we are very pleased to include in this
volume a chapter which deals with the processing of a thermosetting
material, i.e. the pultrusion of glass reinforced polyester. The
extrusion of plastics is, of course, a very important subject but
an aspect which is often overlooked is the need to remove volatile
matter during processing: for this reason we have included a
chapter on devolatilisation. Current industrial practice is towards
materials modification and this attitude is reflected in the
chapters on the transformation of ethylene vinyl acetate polymers
and the use of wollastonite in two important thermoplastics. When
assessing the performance of materials, there is a tendency to
concentrate on short-term mechanical tests and ignore such topics
as fatigue and longer-term testing. We are therefore very pleased
to include a chapter on this subject.
