Thoroughly revised edition of the classic text on polymer
processing
The Second Edition brings the classic text on polymer processing
thoroughly up to date with the latest fundamental developments in
polymer processing, while retaining the critically acclaimed
approach of the First Edition. Readers are provided with the
complete panorama of polymer processing, starting with fundamental
concepts through the latest current industry practices and future
directions. All the chapters have been revised and updated, and
four new chapters have been added to introduce the latest
developments.
Readers familiar with the First Edition will discover a host of new
material, including:
* Blend and alloy microstructuring
* Twin screw-based melting and chaotic mixing mechanisms
* Reactive processing
* Devolatilization--theory, mechanisms, and industrial
practice
* Compounding--theory and industrial practice
* The increasingly important role of computational fluid
mechanics
* A systematic approach to machine configuration design
The Second Edition expands on the unique approach that
distinguishes it from comparative texts. Rather than focus on
specific processing methods, the authors assert that polymers have
a similar experience in any processing machine and that these
experiences can be described by a set of elementary processing
steps that prepare the polymer for any of the shaping methods. On
the other hand, the authors do emphasize the unique features of
particular polymer processing methods and machines, including the
particular elementary step and shaping mechanisms and geometrical
solutions.
Replete with problem sets and a solutions manual for instructors,
this textbook is recommended for undergraduate and graduate
students in chemical engineering and polymer and materials
engineering and science. It will also prove invaluable for industry
professionals as a fundamental polymer processing analysis and
synthesis reference.
