Injection molding is the most widely used processing technique for polymers. It offers several
advantages over other processing conditions such as good surface finish, the ability to …

An Updated Edition of the Classic Text Polymers constitute the basis for the plastics, rubber,
adhesives, fiber, and coating industries. The Fourth Edition of Introduction to Physical …

Poly (lactide)(PLA) is rapidly gaining interest as a biodegradable thermoplastic for general
usage in degradable disposables. To improve mechanical properties, a PLA with low …

This article deals with evolution of packed foodstuff quality with time of storage. The transport
of small volatile molecules (flavor compounds, water vapor, and gases) into and through …

The aim of the work was to manufacture, using a laboratory‐scale film production pilot plant,
nanocomposite polylactic acid (PLA) films added with Cloisite 30B clay‐derived nanofiller …

Uniaxial poly (lactic acid)-based self-reinforced composites have been developed by
bonding poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA) fibers by depositing poly (D, l-lactic acid)(PDLLA) which …

In this paper, the sensitivity of carbon fiber reinforced polyether-ether-ketone friction riveted
joints to hydrothermal aging was assessed, addressing the degradation mechanisms and …

Here, we report some unique crystalline morphologies of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) via organic
solvent-induced crystallization. It was revealed that the surface morphology of PLA can be …

Radiation-induced graft polymerization of sulfo-containing styrene derivatives into crystalline
poly (ether ether ketone)(PEEK) substrates was carried out to prepare thermally and …

In situ consolidation of thermoplastic composites by Automated Tape Placement (ATP) is
challenging. High quality ATP grade pre-preg material and tape head equipped with an …
