The Effect of Sterilization on Plastics and Elastomers
3RD EDITION, LAURENCE W MCKEEN, 2012
Sterilization is essential for a wide range of plastics products used in food and pharmaceuti- cal packaging and medical devices. While sterilization processes will destroy microbiological life they can also affect the properties of plastics, and so it is important to understand their impact in order to select and implement the most suitable. This book provides the necessary explanations of sterilization processes and their effects on
a wide range of commonly used plastics and rubbers. The 3rd edition has been updated to remove discontinued materials, but also to include a number of renewable and biodegradable materials which are making inroads into these markets. It is clearly struc- tured and reports published experimental data on commer- cial materials, giving trade names and suppliers, as well as typical applications. Order the book here ➤
Handbook of Molded Part Shrinkage and Warpage
2ND EDITION, JERRY FISCHER, 2013
This book is devoted exclu- sively to this key problem area for designers, toolmakers and moulders and the author has made significant updates since the previous edition, acknowl- edging technological advances and adding data, as well as drawing on his practical industrial experience. Causes of part variation are discussed under part design, material,
mould design or processing, before detailed chapters on controlling the phenomena and the use of computer-aided techniques. Explanations are brought to life in 23 case studies, while the final quarter of the book provides extensive numerical data on a wide range of materials, as well as a useful glossary. A useful, well-structured book.
