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?
Grafting poly(vinyl acetate) from starch improves film formability, thermal stability, and toughness in biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/starch blends.
Adding foam to polypropylene/carbon nanotube composites increases electrical conductivity by more than six orders of magnitude while decreasing density.

Combining Kagome lattice hollow-core photonic crystal fibers with ultrafast lasers enables transmission and pulse compression with high energy and high average power.
Product miniaturization and high shear/cooling rates during microinjection molding increase the volume of the highly oriented skin layer, thereby modifying the mechanical properties of the fabricated product.

A microscale multilayered structure of alternating foam and film layers, prepared using microlayer co-extrusion technology, results in a well-ordered multilayered structure, leading to enhanced sound absorption.
Barry Morris, Diane Hahm, Randy Kendzierski, Rong Jiao, Leopoldo Carbajal, April 2015
A high-speed impact test for measuring puncture resistance of multilayer films was developed that shows good correlation with field failures and helps optimize performance for food packaging.
A short-term test method to evaluate the performance of polyethylene pipes enables the effect of prior deformation on the tangent modulus to be measured and may prove useful for in-service monitoring.2
Paulo Teixeira, Luis Ferras, Alexandre Afonso, Nelson Goncalves, March 2015
Investigation of an extrusion die designed for the production of wood-plastic-composite decking profiles shows that numerical tools help to optimize flow balance.
Marc Mangnus, Josep Bonet Avalos, Maria Serral , Peter Sandkuhler, February 2015
A simple additive rule predicts the viscoelasticity of multilayer films from the properties of pure component films obtained under the same processing conditions.
Rafael Guntzel Arenhart , Guilherme Mariz de Oliveira Barra, Celso Peres Fernandes, February 2015
A numerical method that takes into account the size variability of particles enables better prediction of the electrical conductivity of insulating composites filled with conductive particles.
The stiffness and other mechanical properties of Nylon 6 nanocomposites can be improved with nanocrystalline cellulose by melt blending and processing.
Giti Torkaman, Hossein Hosseini-Toudeshky, Sara Asghari Mooneghi, Ali Akbar Gharehaghaji, January 2015
The application of tensile fatigue to nylon-66 nanofiber yarns improves the nanofiber alignment and crystallinity of their structure, thereby increasing tensile strength.
