Reliable and meaningful methods of polymer testing are necessary to
support the plastics industry, being essential for understanding
material and part properties, and evaluating materials for a part
design, with important implications for product safety as well as
operating conditions and lifetime. This book covers all the most
important testing methods, from long-established basic techniques
to recent developments, including the latest polymer testing
standards. By means of examples for the optimization of materials
as well as for the evaluation of part properties, an insight into
modern polymer testing and its interdisciplinary character is
provided. Included in this third edition is an all-new chapter on
the testing of polymer films; additionally, many small updates and
corrections have been made throughout the book. Numerous tables and
figures are included, providing structures and physico-chemical
data. A special section for beginners is dedicated to guiding
formulations and test methods. A relatively short section deals
with development trends in Europe. Sustainability is a major theme,
and it is demonstrated that PVC has a strong potential to develop
into a fully sustainable material. Another section deals with the
everyday problems in the processing of PVC, such as the formation
of specks, photo-effects, and plate-out. Plate-out is a common
problem in the processing of PVC but only relatively few
publications cover it. The causes, influencing factors, and
mechanisms are still poorly understood. This section, unique in the
literature, provides assistance in the selection and dosage of raw
materials to PVC processor, based on the influencing factors during
processing.
