Scientists who have had the opportunity of being associated with
Professor Egon T. Degens, to whom this Festschrift is devoted, have
been influenced by his ideas on subjects as varied as:
extraterrestrial organic matter, origin of life, evolution of
organisms, isotope biogeochemistry down to more imminent ones such
as the carbon cycle and its implications on climate. This variety
is also reflected in the papers in the present volume contributed
by colleagues who have known Egon or have worked with him. Egon
Theodor Degens was born on April 16, 1928 at Inden, Germany and had
his education in Bonn and Wiirzburg. After a stint at the
Pennsylvania State University he returned to Wiirzburg to help set
up one of the first organic geochemistry laboratories in the world.
This laboratory was the breeding ground for some of the eminent
organic geochemists at work today. Later, he joined the California
Institute of Technology and began his work on stable carbon
isotopes, and later on biogeochemical compounds in natural waters.
From California he moved on to the east coast, which led to yet
another productive phase at the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution. He was instrumental in the pioneering work carried out
by the Woods Hole scientists in the Black Sea which is the largest
anoxic basin in the world, and in the Red Sea where the first
hydrothermal ore deposits on the seafloor were discovered.
This text/workbook covers the entire field of injection molding -
from materials, to processing, to issues of occupational safety,
and to the recycling of injection molded parts. Key questions help
readers work through the lesson with specific objectives in mind.
Review questions allow readers to test their knowledge.
This definitive book provides a comprehensive account of the full
range of dies used for extrusion of plastics and elastomers. The
distinctive features of the various types of dies are described in
detail. Expert advice on the configuration of dies is given, and
the possibilities of computer-aided design, as well as its
limitations, are demonstrated. Fundamentals and computational
procedures are clearly explained so that no special prior knowledge
of the subject is required. The mechanical configuration, handling,
and maintenance of extrusion dies are described. Calibration
procedures for pipes and profiles are also discussed. This book was
written for plastics engineers who need daily support in their
practical work in industry and science, as well as for students
preparing for their professional life. The 4th edition is brought
up to date with several important additions, including coverage of
multilayer (>15 layer) dies, melt encapsulation, and simulation
tools (rheological/thermal CFD simulations). With the purchase of
this book, you also receive a free personal access code to download
the eBook.
Economic success in the plastics processing industry depends on the
quality, precision, and reliability of its most common tool: the
injection mold. Consequently, misjudgments in design and mistakes
in the manufacturing of molds can result in grave consequences.
This comprehensive handbook for the design and manufacture of
injection molds covers all aspects of how to successfully make
injection molds from a practical as well as from a theoretical
point of view. It should serve as an indispensable reference work
for everyone engaged in mold making.
