Unmodified, epoxy resins cause certain problems for both the adhesive formulator and end-user. They are often rigid and brittle; hence, impact resistance and peel strength are poor. For decades, Chemist have been vigorously working to minimize these major shortcomings. Based on a popular course sponsored by the Society of Plastics Engineers and written by an authority in the field, this comprehensive text presents a variety of methods to accomplish what up to now has been a formidable task. Beginning with epoxy chemistry, moving on to fillers, filler treatments, and surfactants, and ending with current and future development in formulating Epoxy Adhesives, this rigorous text addressed the problem of improving flexibility, durability and strength by adding chemical groups to the epoxy structure either via the base resin or the curing agent or by adding separate flexibilizing resins to the formulation to create an epoxy-hybrid adhesive.

Product Developers have found a wide array of application for thermoplastics in the automotive interior and exterior parts, business machines, medical, telecommunications equipment, microwaveable packaging, appliances, and specialty uses. However, finding a material that can meet consumer demands is no small task. While technological information is readily available regarding the general properties of common thermoplastic material, there is no single authoritative source for building and evaluating new product lines. Written by a top team of international experts, this book will focus only on new and emerging engineering resin property requirements, instead of properties of conventional engineering thermoplastics which are available from polymer producers and compounders. This book will incorporate important chemical, physical, mechanical and applications for engineering thermoplastic in one place, providing clear solutions to evaluate and compare existing product lines and with new and emerging products.

Product Description
The 6th edition of this well received book provides a detailed yet simplified discussion of material selection, manufacturing techniques, and assembly procedures and will enable the reader to evaluate plastic materials to adequately design plastic parts for assembly. A noteworthy addition in this brand new sixth edition is a new cutting-edge materials selection. The book describes good joint design and purpose, the geometry and nature of the component parts, the types of load involved and other basic information necessary in order to work successfully in this field. It serves as an excellent tool that will facilitate cost effective design decisions and help to ensure that the plastic parts and products designed stand up under use.

Designing Plastic Parts for Assembly

Product Description
In this 3rd Edition of the Reinforced Plastics Handbook the authors have continued the approach of the late John Murphy, author of the first and second editions.The book provides a compendium of information on every aspect of materials, processes, designs and construction.Fiber-reinforced plastics are a class of materials in which the basic properties of plastics are given mechanical reinforcement by the addition of fibrous materials. The wide choice of plastics resin matrices and the correspondingly wide choice of reinforcing materials mean that the permutations are virtually unlimited. But the optimum properties of resin and reinforcement cannot be obtained unless there is an effective bond between the two, and this is the continuing objective of reinforced plastics production, design and processing.

· New 3rd edition of this comprehensive practical manual
· This is a ‘bible’ for all those involved in the reinforced plastics industry, whether manufacturers, specifiers, designers or end-users.
· Has been completely revised and updated to reflect all the latest developments in the industry

Reinforced Plastics Handbook, Third Edition

Product Description
The handbook explains in plain terms why moldings shrink and warp, shows how additives and reinforcements change the picture, sets out the effect of molding process conditions, and tells why you never can have a single “”correct”" shrinkage value. But that’s not all. The handbook shows how to alleviate the problem by careful design of the molded part and the mold and by proper material selection. It also examines computer-aided methods of forecasting shrinkage and warpage. And most important of all, the handbook gives you the data you need to work with.

This is the most complete collection of shrinkage data ever made and includes an extensive compilation of hard-to-find multi-point information on how processing, part design, mold design, material and post mold treatment affect the part’s final dimensions. Manufacturers’ figures for thousands of grades, along with an exhaustive search of magazines, journals, conference papers, books, web sites and brochures combine to make this a powerful resource.

A lot depends on a dimensionally correct molding. Quality, speed to market, profit margins for the molder and toolmaker, the efficiency of secondary and assembly operations, reputation; all these are on the line. The Mold Shrinkage and Warpage Handbook is the book for people who have to live with shrinkage and warpage. It is the only book for people who have to commit themselves.

Handbook of Molded Part Shrinkage and Warpage

Product Description
This bestselling handbook provides detailed, basic information on the design and manufacture of molds for injection, compression and transfer molding (casting, impregnating, winding, centrifugal casting, laminating), and molding of expandable polystyrene.

Mold-Making Handbook

Product Description
The second edition of this popular industrial guide describes over 2,800 currently available epoxy resins, curing agents, compounds, and modifiers, based on information supplied by 71 manufacturers or distributors of these products.

Epoxy resins have experienced tremendous growth since their introduction in the 1950s. Future growth will be in new markets in the specialty performance areas and high-technology applications. Each raw material or product is described, as available, with typical assay or checkpoint figures and a brief summary of important features or applications. Additional sections useful to the reader are the Suppliers’ Addresses and a Trade Name Index.

Epoxy Resins, Curing Agents, Compounds, and Modifiers, Second Edition, Second Edition: An Industrial Guide

Product Description
The subject of this book is synthetic polymeric membranes, the thin polymer films in either solid or liquid states which act as semipermeable barriers for gaseous, liquid, or solid permeants. In this edition, as in the first, the membranes themselves are emphasized rather than the processes and applications in which they are utilized.
