Plastics production comprises the main process steps "synthesis (reaction)", "preparation/compounding" at the raw material manufacturer and compounder, and "processing" (shaping into semi-finished or finished products). In this handbook, the central middle step, preparation and compounding, is discussed.
The preparation tasks include the removal of components, the incorporation of additives, and the change of particle size. Compounding is the incorporation of additives into a polymer or plastic. The process engineering fundamentals and the specific equipment and machines used are described. The specialist authors impart their knowledge from the fields of research, polymer production, and equipment/machine production with applications in plastics technology.
- Presents detailed information on polymer preparation tasks and compounding methods for plastics
- Covers a full range of equipment, including single, twin, multi-screw, and planetary roller extruders, as well as specialist machines
- Brings together expert practical knowledge with the latest research in the area of preparation and compounding
Advanced students and academic researchers across plastics engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, process engineering, or chemical engineering.
