The SPE Library contains thousands of papers, presentations, journal briefs and recorded webinars from the best minds in the Plastics Industry. Spanning almost two decades, this collection of published research and development work in polymer science and plastics technology is a wealth of knowledge and information for anyone involved in plastics.
The SPE Library is just one of the great benefits of being an SPE member! Are you taking advantage of all of your SPE Benefits?

New polyester carbonate copolymers afford the first resins with low color, high transmission and low haze combined with low OSU Heat Release values. In addition, the fabricated articles can be hard coated to provide improved levels of scratch resistance. These compositions can be varied to maximize the various mechanical properties depending on the needs of the application. The excellent clarity combined with OSU 65/65 compliance allow for applications such as interior transportation windows/dust covers, partitions, mirrors and lighting lenses. The excellent colorability also allows for the fabrication of interior opaque components for the transportation industry.

The work focuses on microfibrillar-phase formation in polymer blends during extrusion through a die with semihyperbolic-converging channel. For these purposes, three polyethylene/polypropylene blends with the mixing ratios (wt./wt.) 80/20, 70/30 and 60/40 were prepared. Final structure and properties of extruded blends were examined using electron microscopy, wide-angle X-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry and tensile testing. It is demonstrated that the formation of microfibrillar-phase morphology is achieved in all blends, independent of their mixing ratios. However, the structure and properties of these microfibrillar-phase composites are strongly influenced by mixing parameters.
This presentationwill look at the study of available viscosity test methods to minimize variation associated with testing equipment. The test methods include the current industry standard HBT viscometers and Brookfield’s new Soft Solids Tester SST2000 which are compared for performance in SMC matrix samples.
This paper details the creep and fatigue characteristics of several long glass reinforced polypropylene compounds that have been used in the development of a thermoplastic liftgate. Both the creep and fatigue data show stress levels associated with a composite part should be limited to 30 % of the failure strength at the maximum use temperature. Parts where there is considerable flow and orientation of these composites should limit stress levels in the cross-flow direction to less than 20 % of the failure strength in that direction.
