Handbook of Plastic Processes
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.

Injection molding is one of the most widely used processes for manufacturing plastics parts. It is a major processing technique for converting thermoplastics and thermoset materials into all types of products for different end uses: from automotive to electronics, medical to sports and recreation, and building and construction to consumer products.
Injection molding is a relatively new method of producing parts. The first injection molding machines were manufactured and made available in the early 1930s, whereas other manufacturing methods that may be familiar date back more that 100 years.
