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?
Measurements have confirmed that orientation in the polyethylene bubble takes place well past the frost-line height, even after the blown film diameter is locked into place.
Using both halloysite and recycled cellulose fibers as fillers in epoxy composites enhances their thermal stability, mechanical, and fracture properties.
Discriminating between microscopic regions of component polymers that have chemically similar structures enables characterization of the phase-inversion composition of a biobased immiscible blend.

Common, low-cost materials such as fly ash, jute, and rubber can create graded structures with desirable properties that could replace more expensive glass-epoxy materials in certain applications.
A synergistic effect between polyaniline and multi-walled carbon nanotubes greatly improves volume conductivity in ternary composites with polypropylene.
In contrast to common fractures caused by surface defects, a particular kind of tear in high-density polyethylene initiates in the central core region of the specimen.
Modifying poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) with acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate increases the thermal decomposition temperature by 27°C and improves its mechanical properties.
Molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, chain branching, and melting behavior of metallocene polyethylenes play a crucial role in the sealability and hot tack properties of their films.
High-strain-rate compression and shear experiments in amorphous polycarbonate reveal strong sensitivity of yield stress to strain rate as well as coupling of dynamic shear behavior to dilatation.
Accounting for resin flow behavior in a process model can offer important guidelines for maximizing weld strength by tailoring resin properties and optimizing welding conditions.
