Zusatztext "This is a valuable resource and should be of interest to research students! scientists and practitioners studying polymer processes. It is a must for students of polymer rheology." -Dr. S.D. Rostami C.Eng. MIMMM! Materials World! Vol. 14! No. 9! September 2006 "[A] worthwhile contribution to the literature on instabilities in polymer processing. The book is most useful to those involved in in-depth analysis of instabilities! such as academics! researchers! and process engineers interested in fundamental approaches to understanding instabilities." - Polymer News! June 2005 Informationen zum Autor Savvas G. Hatzikiriakos, Kalman B. Migler Klappentext The topics covered in this book offer a fundamental and practical understanding of various flows that occur during the processing of polymer melts where instabilities pose a serious limitation in the rate of production! including extrusion and co-extrusion! blow molding! film blowing! film casting! and injection molding. The book is unique in that it fills a gap in the polymer processing literature where polymer flow instabilities are not treated in-depth in any book and summarizes the data collected! particularly over the last ten years. Polymer Processing Instabilities: Control and Understanding covers commodity polymers that are processed as melts at temperatures above their melting point or as concentrated solutions at lower temperatures. Zusammenfassung Offers an understanding of the various flows that occur during the processing of polymer melts. This book focuses on flow instabilities that affect the rate of production and the methods used to prevent and eliminate flow instabilities in order to increase production rates and enhance manufacturing efficiency.
