An outstanding and thorough presentation of the complete field
of plastics processing

Handbook of Plastic Processes is the only comprehensive
reference covering not just one, but all major processes used to
produce plastic products-helping designers and manufacturers in
selecting the best process for a given product while enabling users
to better understand the performance characteristics of each
process.

The authors, all experts in their fields, explain in clear,
concise, and practical terms the advantages, uses, and limitations
of each process, as well as the most modern and up-to-date
technologies available in their application.

Coverage includes chapters on:

* Injection molding

* Compression and transfer molding

* Sheet extrusion

* Blow molding

* Calendering

* Foam processing

* Reinforced plastics processing

* Liquid resin processing

* Rotational molding

* Thermoforming

* Reaction injection molding

* Compounding, mixing, and blending

* Machining and mechanical fabrication

* Assembly, finishing, and decorating

Each chapter details a particular process, its variations, the
equipment used, the range of materials utilized in the process, and
its advantages and limitations.

Because of its increasing impact on the industry, the editor has
also added a chapter on nanotechnology in plastics processing.
