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?
Noureddine Atalla, Chul B. Park, Hani E. Naguib, Shahrzad Ghaffari Mosanenzadeh, July 2015
Tailoring the microstructure of biobased open-cell porous materials could enable the development of innovative, eco-friendly thermoplastic packages for acoustic applications.
A new approach makes it possible to estimate all ASTM-standard flow rates and flow-rate ratios from a single run of small-amplitude oscillatory shear testing.
Woothichai Thaijaroen, Norbert Vennemann, Uraiwan Sookyung, Charoen Nakason, June 2015
Preparing natural rubber/clay nanocomposites by a drying rather than acid coagulation method improves the thermal resistance, tensile strength, and modulus of the rubber vulcanizates.
The addition of expanded graphite and single-walled carbon nanotubes to poly(ethylene terephthalate) leads to a range of enhanced mechanical and barrier properties in the resultant nanocomposite.
Monitoring the rheological properties of a polymer under different processing parameters gives insight into its melt state and allows the quality of injection-molded parts to be predicted.
Mehmet Dogan, Erdal Bayramli , Umit Tayfun, June 2015
Enhancing interfacial interactions between natural filler and polymer matrix by modifying the surface of rice straw results in stronger thermoplastic polyurethane-based eco-composites.
Virtual fine-tuning of coextrusion dies using a flow simulation software reduced the lead time and the number of fine-tuning cycles in experiments by 35 significantly cutting the cost of designing a die.
Pedro Henrique Hermes Araujo, Humberto Gracher Riella, Jair Fiori Junior, Renato Adriano Damiani, Marcio Antonio Fiori , Almir Barros da Silva Santos Neto, May 2015
Varying the temperature during injection molding substantially improves the mechanical and thermal properties of polyamide nanocomposites reinforced with glass fiber and nanoclay.
Papa-Birame Gning, Vincent Francois, Karim Bensalem, Lotfi Toubal, Jean-Christophe Cuilliere, May 2015
A non-Fickian model of moisture diffusion in a hemp/polypropylene composite allows better prediction of moisture uptake and its related effect on mechanical properties.
Conductive polymer fillers can be used in shielding structures for electronic devices, but have associated challenges related to processing techniques.
Prakash Hadimani, Padmanabhan B. Raman, Robert Roden, Sambhu Bhadra, Babu Padmanabhan, May 2015
Jute-filled polypropylene composites with a heat deflection temperature above150°C and improved mechanical and flow properties were developed on a high-performance co-rotating twin-screw compounder.
