Plastic development

Over the years innovations in aircraft have given rise to more new plastic developments and have kept the plastics industry profits at a higher level than any other major market principally since they can meet different environmental and load conditions. Virtually all plastics have received the benefit of the aircraft industry s uplifting influence. Practically all conceivable top quality plastics are used to provide cost advantages and improvements...

In 2004, Sony and Mitsubishi Plastics developed a flame retardant PLA biodegradable resin claimed to be as strong as ABS. The new material will be used in the front panel of Sony stand-alone DVD players. 

Polymer-Engineering A catalytic process for making diesel fuel from waste plastics. Developed by C. Koch at Alphakat GMBH, Germany, and now offered by Polymer-Engineering, Germany. A zeolite catalyst is used, and the product is called NanoFuel Diesel. Plants have been built in Germany, Mexico, Japan, and South Korea. 

To illustrate the influence of the craze thickening kinetics on fracture, two sets of craze parameters are used and listed in Table 3. The two sets are borrowed from [22] (cases 8 and 1) and named here A and B. In Fig. 8, we report the plastic strain rate distribution observed near the crack tip. This variable is suitable to track the development of plasticity and is normalized with To = Ki/soy/Fi as a reference strain rate at the tip of the notch (the radius is rt = 0.1 mm and T = 293 K). We compare the cases for which no crazing is considered (Fig. 8a) to those where crazing is accounted for (Fig. 8b), with the set A of craze parameters in Table 3. When crazing is not present and at the particular loading rate considered, plasticity develops in the form of shear bands which originate from the tip of the notch, where the stress concentrates. 

Tables VII and VIII sumnarize present and future RIM engineering plastic developments. This is an emerging area for RIM processable materials part of which will be made possible by recent equipment developments such as hot RIM. Polyurethane materials which now exist in this hard segment range are plastics...

To protect themselves for the vast sums spent in both product development and technical service, plastics producers are going to have to exercise more strict control over patents, and may well have to pay closer attention to the licensing of certain applications. In times of heavy competition, all possible sources of income must be investigated. Even now, many companies are licensing the by-products of plastics developments. New instruments, new coating and molding equipment, and new techniques of handling and application are no... 

In the sixties, because of the role of technical service organizations in education and communication, the integrated company effectiveness in plastics development and sales will, we trust, be increased. We feel that the technical service and product development organizations in plastics are one of management s most useful tools to do the job.

The process of heating and cooling many TPs can be repeated indefinitely by granulating scrap, defective products, and so on. During these cycles the plastic develops a time-to-heat history or residence time. This action can significantly lose processing advantages and properties. Loss... 

The chief challenge to the plastics industry is not in pounds of plastics needed but rather in the translation of plastic development technology into production line expertise. The aerospace industry is geared to pay high prices for plastics with exceptional properties as high as hundreds of dollars per pound with up to ten-fold cost increases for fabricated products plus additional dollars to conduct continual testing and evaluation to insure safety of aircraft operation.
