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?
The addition of carbon nanotubes, functionalized with 4′-allyloxy-biphenyl-4-ol, to silicone resin improves the mechanical and thermal properties of the resultant nanocomposites.
Prapol Chivapornthip , Erik L. J. Bohez, December 2016
Uniaxial compression experiments show that the bulk viscosity has a higher magnitude than shear viscosity and should therefore not be neglected during flow analysis of the injection-molding process.
Theoretical calculations and simulations have been created to analyze the mechanism of melt flow and can be used to guide selection of process parameters.
Kent E. Nielsen, Frank A. Brandys, Michael R. Thompson , Rohan N. Pukadyil, G. Prasath Balamurugan, November 2016
Biaxial stretching of laminates during thermoforming relieves stored compressive stresses and produces decorative parts with improved surface appearance.
Krysztof Wilcynski, Adrian Lewandowski, Krzysztof J. Wilczynski, November 2016
In contrast to flood-fed extrusion, two distinct stages of melting are observed during starve-fed extrusion and a novel melting mechanism is thus proposed.
Nilhan Kayaman-Apohan, Burcu Oktay , Serap Demir, November 2016
Hydrogel samples that contain drug-loaded magnetite particles exhibit good release characteristics in both the presence and absence of a magnetic field.
Marilia Sonego, Lidiane Cristina Costa, Jose Donato Ambrosio, October 2016
Chemical modification of polyvinyl butyral, with vinyltrimethoxysilane, increases its resistance to organic solvents through dynamic and static crosslinking.
Necmi Dusunceli , Aleksey D. Drozdov, Naseem Theilgaard, October 2016
A series of tensile loading-unloading and relaxation tests, under stretching and retraction cyclic deformation conditions, were conducted between room temperature and 50°C.
Nesar Merah, Mohammed Abdul Samad , Annas bin Ali, October 2016
The specific wear rate and coefficient of friction of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene samples are substantially reduced with the use of three different types of nanoclay filler.
Qiang Zhang, Renchuan You, Jie Zhang, Yuhang Guo, Yanfei Feng, Xiufang Li, October 2016
Composite nanofibers of polycaprolactone and Antheraea pernyi silk fibroin exhibit good mechanical properties and promote cell attachment, spreading, and proliferation.
Wide-angle x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements, as well as simulations, were used to investigate the crystallization properties of layered parts.
