Moldable beads are produced by suspension polymerization, swelling with pentane, warming to soften and pre-expand the beads, pouring them into a mold, and steaming to expand them fully, soften them, and fuse them together into a finished product. This produces drinking cups, molded packaging, board stock, and display and novelty products.

The earliest kinds of interconnection involved solder joints later, wire bonding and dual in-line (DIP) phenolic-molded packages were developed. In fact, the DIP continues to be the most commonly used package. In a DIP (see Figure 1) the IC chip (shown here encapsulated) is connected by wire bonding to the two rows of... 

Standardized plastic mold packages are the most cost-effective packages available. Packaging services are offered by large subcontractors, mainly located in South East Asia, which have established a worldwide standard for IC packaging. Therefore, flexibility for sensor-specific requirements is limited or even impossible, because existing manufacturing lines have to be used. Automotive quality is available, but not standard.

Due to the nature of sensing intensive physical parameters (i.e., pressure, flow, etc.) the sensor has to have access to the environment to be sensed. Thus mold packages are inappropriate, but premolded packages may be an alternative (Fig. 5.8.3). Although more expensive than the standard mold package, the pre-molded version offers the required accessibility and retains many of the typical mold package advantages, especially when the external dimensions are kept standard. 

The signal-processing circuit susceptible to contamination is placed in the mold package and only the pressure-sensing element is exposed outside the package. 

Polystyrene. While polystyrene was probably first formed by German apothecary Eduard Simon in 1839, it was almost 100 years later, in 1930, that the German chemical company I. G. Fraben placed polystyrene on the market. Polystyrene-molded parts became common place by 1935. Apphcations of polyst5Tene include loose-fill packaging peanuts, shape-molded packaging, and disposable utensils.

In nearly all applications of piastics in packaging, the first step is to convert the soiid piastic, usuaiiy in peiiet form, into a meit. This meit can then be shaped using heat and pressure into a usefui form. The equipment used to do this is an extruder. An extruder is used for him and sheet, and is part of a blow molder for bottles. An extruder is also part of an injection molding machine for injection molded or injection blow molded packaging. The extruders used in all of these applications work in a similar manner, but they deliver the melt to the shaping operation differently. We will explore these differences as we proceed. 

A process that somewhat bridges the gap between molded packaging and foam-in-place uses a fixture, rather than the actual product, to produce polyurethane cushions, encapsulated in polyethylene sheet, of the desired size and shape. As mentioned, foams can also be produced in bags rather than directly in the box, so that the product does not need to be surrounded by polyethylene. Polyurethane foams can be produced by extrusion methods, as well, but these are rarely used for packaging applications. 

The most signilieant application for conductive adhesives in the manufacture of microelectronics is the attachment of silicon chips to lead frames. Of the 40 billion integrated circuits (ICs) manufactured each year, approximately 90% are encapsulated in plastic-molded packages, and most of these are assembled with conductive adhesives [4]. A schematic illustration of a plastic-molded IC package is shown in Fig. 2. The conductive... 

Sodium benzoate. Sodium benzoate is an inexpensive traditional nucleating agent used predominantly in nylon and PP homopolymer. Sodium benzoate has full FDA approval in PP and is used in food applications and pharmaceutical synthesis. Typical use levels of sodium benzoate as a nucleating agent in PP are lower than the sorbitols. The major application is in injection-molded packaging closures.

For nucleation of nylon and PP, sodium benzoate [532-32-1] is the traditional material of choice. Use levels are of the order of 0.1% with injection-molded packaging closures being a major application. Sodium benzoate does not impart any improvement in optical properties. Low molecular weight polyolefins, ionomers,...
