Fundamental concepts coupled with practical, step-by-step guidance

With its emphasis on core principles, this text equips readers with the skills and knowledge to design the many processes needed to safely and successfully manufacture thermoplastic parts. The first half of the text sets forth the general theory and concepts underlying polymer processing, such as the viscoelastic response of polymeric fluids and diffusion and mass transfer. Next, the text explores specific practical aspects of polymer processing, including mixing, extrusion dies, and post-die processing. By addressing a broad range of design issues and methods, the authors demonstrate how to solve most common processing problems.

This Second Edition of the highly acclaimed Polymer Processing has been thoroughly updated to reflect current polymer processing issues and practices. New areas of coverage include:



Micro-injection molding to produce objects weighing a fraction of a gram, such as miniature gears and biomedical devices
New chapter dedicated to the recycling of thermoplastics and the processing of renewable polymers
Life-cycle assessment, a systematic method for determining whether recycling is appropriate and which form of recycling is optimal
Rheology of polymers containing fibers

Chapters feature problem sets, enabling readers to assess and reinforce their knowledge as they progress through the text. There are also special design problems throughout the text that reflect real-world polymer processing issues. A companion website features numerical subroutines as well as guidance for using MATLAB®, IMSL®, and Excel to solve the sample problems from the text. By providing both underlying theory and practical step-by-step guidance, Polymer Processing is recommended for students in chemical, mechanical, materials, and polymer engineering.

DONALD G. BAIRD, PhD, is the Alexander F. Giacco and Harry C. Wyatt Professor of Chemical Engineering at Virginia Tech. His research centers on the use of fundamental non-Newtonian fluid mechanics to develop improved processing operations for polymers and polymer composites. Among his many honors, the Society of Plastics Engineers has awarded him the International Award, the International Award for Research, and the International Award for Education. A holder of seven patents, Dr. Baird has published some 300 refereed publications. DIMITRIS I. COLLIAS, PhD, is with the corporate R&D department of the Procter & Gamble Co. in Cincinnati, Ohio. He earned his PhD degree from Princeton University. With twenty years of industry experience in polymers, polymer processing, packaging, paper, and activated carbon, his current research focuses on developing renewable materials and processes for key products in the company’s portfolio. Dr. Collias holds fifty-four issued U.S. patents and is inventor or co-inventor in more than thirty U.S. patent applications.
