The growing demand for high-performance plastic components for automobile, aerospace, medical, and electronic applications has made the job of formulating paints, adhesives, and coatings more challenging. Because many of the composite plastics selected for these components have low surface energies, adhesion to their surfaces has been a problem. This presentation illustrates how adhesion is being improved, in composites and in dissimilar materials, by atmospheric pretreatment technologies.

Polymers are metallized by several processes ranging from vapor deposition to electroplating. This presentation reviews the metallizing technologies existing today and discusses advances in the science, technology and materials used to produce metallized polymers and the various end uses for them.

Much is being made about packaging sustainability, seemingly more even than for the products themselves. Packaging seems superfluous to the product in the consumer’s mind making it a larger and easier target than the product. Objective data suggests a complete elimination of packaging would contribute less than 5-10% of the required 50-80% global CO2 reduction. In this informative webinar, we will explore the line of reasoning on both sides including:

The second edition of this well received book provides a basic understanding of the properties of the common packaging plastics. Material properties and how they relate to the chemical structure of the polymers, common processing methods for packaging applications, help with writing specifications, designing, fabricating, testing, and controlling the quality of the plastic material are covered comprehensively.Expanded and updated information on PET bottle production, retort pouches, polylactides, and plastic recyling among other topics make the second edition an indispensable resource for the
