When a molten plastic is forced through a die it is found that under certain conditions there will be defects in the extrudate. In the worst case this will take the form of gross distortion of the extrudate but it can be as slight as a dullness of the surface. In most cases flow defects are to be avoided since they affect the quality of the output and the efficiency of the processing operation. However, in some cases if the flow anomaly can be controlled and reproduced, it can be used to advantage - for example, in the production of sheets with matt surface finish. Flow defects result from a combination of melt flow properties, die design and processing conditions but the exact causes and mechanisms are not completely understood. The two most common defects are... 

The subject of plastic materials and equipment variables are important to understand so products can be properly designed and processed. Details on MATERIAL... 

Based on over a century of worldwide production of billions of plastic products, they can be designed and processed successfully, meeting high quality, consistency, long life, and profitability. All that is needed is understanding the behavior of plastics and properly applying these behaviors. 

This book focuses on the relationships between the chemical structure and the related physical characteristics of plastics, which determine appropriate material selection, design, and processing of plastic parts. The book also contains an in-depth presentation of the structure-property relationships of a wide range of plastics, including thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and blends. 

This book was written to serve as a useful reference source for people new to plastics as well as providing an update for those with experience. It highlights basic plastic materials and processes that can be used in designing and fabricating plastic products. As with designing any material and/or using any process for plastic, steel, aluminum, wood, ceramic, and so on, it is important to know their behaviors in order to maximize product performance-to-cost efficiency. This book provides...

The FMEA methodology is now extensively used in a variety of industries including semiconductor processing, food service, plastics, software and health care, where it is sometimes integrated into Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) to provide a primary design and process risk mitigation tool.
