Training in Plastics Technology

A Text- and Workbook. By Walter Michaeli, Helmut Greif, Leo Wolters, Franz-Josef Vossebürger.

This text and workbook provides a clearly written, comprehensive introduction to the major topics associated with plastics technology. It is divided into educational units, each covering a distinct subject area. Students can arrange these units to fit their individual educational objectives. Each unit has key questions at the beginning and review questions at the end, providing a useful means for the reader to work through the lessons with specific objectives in mind. Thus, the book not only enhances the reader's understanding of plastics and plastics technology, it also facilitates independent, self-paced learning. - From the Table of Contents: Plastics Fundamentals - Raw Materials and Polymer Synthesis - Methods of Polymer Synthesis - Bonding Forces in Polymers - Classification of Plastics - Deformation Behavior of Plastics - Time-Dependent Behavior - Physical Properties - Plastics Fabrication and Processing - Plastics Compounding - Extrusion - Injection Molding - Fiber-Reinforced Plastics - Plastic Foams - Thermoforming - Welding Plastics - Machining Plastics - Adhesive Bonding of Plastics - Plastics Products and Plastics Waste - Recycling Plastics -- Appendices: Glossary of Plastics Technology - Selected Literature - Example of a Training Program for Plastics Processing Operators in the US. 2nd Edition/2.
