Books in the Wiley Series on Polymer Engineering and Technology series

Employing biodegradable polymers to create nanocomposites addresses many current environmental concerns, such as waste-disposal problems associated with traditional plastics and the potential to cut carbon emissions and reduce CO 2 quantities.

This book highlights the importance of quality control for injection molding ? the most commonly used plastics manufacturing method. It provides the guidance and information to apply quality assurance methods so that plastic parts are produced ?right the first time? and through all manufacturing operations.

This book comprehensively summarizes and collects many technical research accomplishments conducted on polyolefin blends. It serves as a "one stop" reference resource for important research accomplishments in the area of polyolefin blends.

* Helps readers understand the basics of PVC formulation, suitable starting formulations for compounds, and new compounding ingredients. * Provides 'typical' or 'starting point' recipes for significant applications along with advice for modifications to enhance one property or another.
