Readers are provided with a broad view of polymer processing, from fundamental concepts through the current industry practices and future directions. All the chapters have been revised and updated, and four new chapters have been added to introduce the latest developments. New material includes: blend and alloy alloy (ăl`oi, əloi`) [O. Fr.,=combine], substance with metallic properties that consists of a metal fused with one or more metals or nonmetals. microstructuring; twin screw-based melting and chaotic mixing mechanisms; reactive processing; devolatilization--theory, mechanisms, and industrial practice; compounding--theory and industrial practice; the increasingly important role of computational Having to do with calculations. Something that is "highly computational" requires a large number of calculations. fluid mechanics fluid mechanics, branch of mechanics dealing with the properties and behavior of fluids, i.e., liquids and gases. Because of their ability to flow, liquids and gases have many properties in common not shared by solids. ; and a systematic approach to machine configuration design. Recommended for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering and polymer and materials engineering and science, this book will also prove useful for industry professionals as a fundamental polymer processing analysis and synthesis reference. There are many more books published than we can review in detail in these pages. In this column, we present brief reviews highlighting new--and some not so new--books that may be of interest to FSCT FSCT Federation of Societies for Coating Technology FSCT Fire Support Control Terminal members. |
