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?

Block copolymers that possess a soft core, hard shell, and polar terminal units can be synthesized by surfactant-free reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer radical polymerization.
Blends of polyethylene terephthalate and high-density polyethylene, with varying component ratios and short fiber reinforcements, help explain useful changes in mechanical properties.
Amit Chaudhary, Krishnamurthy Jayaraman, July 2011
Combining clay and compatibilizer additives with linear polypropylene forms nanocomposites with a densely entangled inner structure able to produce quality foams upon extrusion.
Three deformation mechanisms occur in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene rubber-toughened blends, and strain rate affects the relative contribution of each mechanism.
