Automotive Plastics and Composites: Materials and Processing is an
essential guide to the use of plastic and polymer composites in
automotive applications, whether in the exterior, interior,
under-the-hood, or powertrain, with a focus on materials,
properties, and processing. The book begins by introducing plastics
and polymers for the automotive industry, discussing polymer
materials and structures, mechanical, chemical, and physical
properties, rheology, and flow analysis. In the second part of the
book, each chapter is dedicated to a category of material, and
considers the manufacture, processing, properties, shrinkage, and
possible applications, in each case. Two chapters on polymer
processing provide detailed information on both closed-mold and
open-mold processing. The final chapters explain other key aspects,
such as recycling and sustainability, design principles, tooling,
and future trends. This book is an ideal reference for plastics
engineers, product designers, technicians, scientists, and R&D
professionals who are looking to develop materials, components, or
products for automotive applications. The book also intends to
guide researchers, scientists, and advanced students in plastics
engineering, polymer processing, and materials science and
engineering.
