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?

Heat treating carbon nanofibers improves their electrical conductivity, which in turn increases the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of their linear low-density polyethylene nanocomposites.
Johann Sienz, Holger Ettinger, John Pittman, August 2012
A new computational design optimization scheme applied to a complex unplasticized-polyvinyl chloride window profile die delivers high-quality design while truncating design time by 85%.
Eduardo Fages, Rafael Balart, Teodomiro Boronat, Jose Manuel Espana Giner , Rosana Moriana, August 2012
Naturally-occurring antioxidant compounds can improve the thermal resistance of a bio-composite, increasing the degradation temperature of the material by as much as 130%.
Solution mixing of a graphene oxide filler with chlorinated polyethylene compatibilizers, followed by melt mixing of the masterbatch with high-density polyethylene, generated graphene-based nanocomposites.
A supercritical carbon dioxide green technique was used to disperse entangled carbon nanotubes and led to improved mechanical properties in a carbon nanotube/polymer composite.
El Mokhtar Essassi, Mounir El Achaby, Abouelkacem Qaiss, August 2012
Purely ß-polymorph poly(vinylidene fluoride) nanocomposite films with improved tensile properties were prepared using polyvinylpyrroli- done-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes as nanofillers.
Carlos Nuno Barbosa, Julio C. Viana, Markus Franzen, Ricardo Simoes, August 2012
We explored the mechanical response of complex polypropylene-based systems during an instrumented falling weight impact test to evaluate the effect of various processing parameters.
Leonardo C. Simon, Yasaman Amintowlieh , Amirpouyan Sardashti, August 2012
The degradation kinetics of wheat straw fillers and their polyamide 6 composites, an environmentally friendly alternative to polyamide 6, are analyzed for use in the manufacture of industrial parts.
Cihan Uzunpinar, Mirna A. Mosiewici, Maria L. Auad, July 2012
Mechanical and chemical treatment of carbon nanotubes can improve their ability to disperse uniformly in epoxy resins and, as a result, alter the rheological behavior of the composite materials.
Microporous chitosan and chitosan/nanosized hydroxyapatite particle composite scaffolds can be successfully prepared using a supercritical carbon dioxide-assisted process for tissue engineering applications.
Sun Kyoung Kim, Sang-Won Woo, Yeong-Eun Yoo, July 2012
Using a gas counter to raise the pressure during injection molding of plastics prevents blisters forming by suppressing evaporation of water and cuts costly drying steps from the manufacturing process.
Shao-jun Cai, Ji-yan Liu, Xue-quing Liu, July 2012
Aluminum diethylphosphinate and aluminum methylethylphosphinate are efficient flame retardants for epoxy resin with different dispersion and polymer matrix compatibility.
Controlling the dispersion of carbon nanotubes and the foam microstructure is the key to developing lightweight polymer foams with electrical conductivity for various applications.
