PLASTICS
PROCESS ANALYSIS, INSTRUMENTATION, AND CONTROL – Johannes Karl Fink.
Scrivener Publishing /
Wiley - ©2021 – ISBN 978-1-119-79373-5 – 402 pages – the book measures
approximately 6 ¼ x 9 ¼.
This book
focuses on plastics process analysis, instrumentation for modern manufacturing
in the plastics industry. Process
analysis is the starting point since plastics processing is different from
processing of metals, ceramics, and other materials. Plastics materials show
unique behavior in terms of heat transfer, fluid flow, viscoelastic behavior,
and a dependence of the previous time, temperature and shear history which
determines how the material responds during processing and its end use. Many of
the manufacturing processes are continuous or cyclical in nature. The systems
are flow systems in which the process variables, such as time, temperature,
position, melt and hydraulic pressure, must be controlled to achieve a
satisfactory product which is typically specified by critical dimensions and
physical properties which vary with the processing conditions. Instrumentation
has to be selected so that it survives the harsh manufacturing environment of
high pressures, temperatures and shear rates, and yet it has to have a fast
response to measure the process dynamics. At many times the measurements have
to be in a non-contact mode so as not to disturb the melt or the finished
product. Plastics resins are reactive systems. The resins will degrade if the
process conditions are not controlled. Analysis of the process allows one to
strategize how to minimize degradation and optimize end-use properties.
