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?

Rubber modification of a polyamide/organoclay nanocomposite produced a material that combines high impact strength with stiffness and ductility comparable to those of the pure polyamide.
Patrick Leevers, Andrea Guevara Morales, January 2013
Residual stress increases the stored strain energy prior to crack propagation in polyethylene pipes, thus helping to drive the crack, but tests suggest another effect related to crack shape must be at work.
James Guthrie, Soney Varghese, Unnikrishnan Gopalakrishnapanicker, Rafeeque Puthiyottil, January 2013
When two rare-earth ions in complexes are added to a polymer matrix, light emission becomes five times brighter due to energy transfer between the metal ions.
Xiang Wang , Guicun Qi, Xiaohong Zhang, Jinliang Qiao, December 2012
Adding ultrafine full-vulcanized powdered rubber substantially increases a thermoplastic's glass transition temperature, due to the restricted motion of plastic chains at the interface layer.
The polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanofillers examined in this study provided little or no improvement to the thermal properties of melt-blended acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer composites.
Yong Zhang, Jian Li, Decai Ren, Dongmei Zhao, December 2012
Avermectin-containing fibers, particles, and spheres were manufactured from a cellulose acetate solution and showed effective pesticidal activity via initial fast and later slow release.
Ilker S. Bayer , Athanassia Athanassiou, December 2012
Solution casting methods can be used to incorporate nanofillers with hydrophobic, conductive, magnetic, and anti-microbial properties into superhydrophobic polymer nanocomposites.
A novel extrusion die offers a new route to polymeric composites with specific distribution and morphological evolution of dispersed components in the melt.
Javier Gonzalez-Benito , Rafael Serra-Gomez, Gustavo Gonzalez-Gaitano, November 2012
Cryogenic high-energy ball milling produces a composite of ethylene vinyl acetate with uniformly dispersed barium titanate particles that retains the useful properties of both the thermoplastic and filler.
Intelligent materials prepared from poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) and its copolymers have attracted much interest for their thermal and pH-stimuli response.
Isaac Cano, Pablo Acuna, Ramon E. Diaz de Leon , Florentino Soriano-Corral, November 2012
Rheological evaluation of relaxation times makes it possible to estimate the occurrence of a crucial switch in phases that determines the final properties of high-impact polystyrene.
The mechanical properties and failure modes of woven fabric-reinforced polymer matrix composites laminates correlate with reinforcement material, stacking sequence, and loading strain rates.
Anup K. Ghosh, Sanjukta Bose, Susanta Mitra, Sangita Nandi, November 2012
Dynamic rheology was used to explore how high density polyethylene interacts with different amounts of fumed silica nanofiller, both with and without the addition of a compatibilizer.
