The broad collection of techniques gathered in this book help
illustrate material/process/property relationships for a wide
selection of materials and processes in the plastics industry. With
the recent increases in computing power and scope, as well as
advances in software engineering, imaging has already become a
universal tool. Image processing and image analysis have become
common expressions are widely recognized within the scientific
community.
The imaging techniques employed range from visible optical
methods to scanning and transmission electron microscopy, x-ray,
thermal wave infrared and atomic force microscopy. Image analysis
is used to monitor/ characterize a variety of processes.
Processes included within this book are: extrusion, injection
molding, foam production, film manufacture, compression molding,
blow molding, vulcanization, melt spinning, reactive blending,
welding, conveying, composite manufacture, compounding, and
thermosetting.
Imaging techniques are also employed to characterize/quantify a
number of important material properties. These include: fiber
orientation distribution, homogeneity of mixing, the rate of
spherulites growth, polymer crystallization rate, melt flow index,
pore size and shape in foam, cell density in foam, void content,
particle analysis in polymer blends, morphology, interparticle
distance, fiber diameter, fatigue crack, crazing, scratching,
surface roughness, fiber-length distribution, nucleation, oil
penetration, peel adhesion, chemical resistance, droplet-fiber
transition, electrical conductivity, dispersion and impurity
content.
