Hattiesburg, MS (PRWEB) November 18, 2011 The University of Southern Mississippis School of Polymers and High Performance Materials has gained approval from the State Institutions of Higher Learning to offer an undergraduate degree in polymer science engineering, the first of its kind in Mississippi. The focus of the program is education and research in the areas of structure and processing of polymeric materials, and how these relate to properties and performance. University officials believe the new program meets a national need for graduates in this area of science. Our outstanding professors in the School of Polymers and High Performance Materials are ready to provide this…. Click Here to Read More

Blackburn, UK (PRWEB) September 30, 2009 A CALL for industry and universities to drive forward key opportunities for research into polymer geogrid applications has been made following a successful symposium to mark 25 years of technological advancement in the field. More than 150 people attended the Jubilee Symposium on Polymer Geogrid Reinforcement in London which identified important new directions for further development in geogrid reinforcement technology and innovation to achieve more cost-effective and environmentally responsible soil structures and road engineering. Chris Jenner, Chief Engineer for Tensar International and a keynote speaker said: “The overall conclusion…. Click Here to Read More

Wilmington, Del. (Vocus) August 6, 2009 DuPont Engineering Polymers announces changes to its North American-based distribution network as part of a new channel management strategy to position for growth after the current economic downturn. Effective immediately, PolyOne Distribution will become the primary distributor of thermoplastic products in North America with additional regional distribution available in Mexico and Canada. Following a 90-day transition period, Ashland Distribution will no longer supply DuPont Engineering Polymers thermoplastic products in North America. “Customers have asked for multiple, distinct channels to quickly access our products and technical….

Epoxy Adhesive Formulations (Chemical Engineering) 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…. Click Here to Read More

Engineering Plastics Handbook (McGraw-Hill Handbooks) 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…. Click Here to Read More

Plastics in automotive engineering: Next weeks difficult, but long-term outlook still bright Mannheim, Germany-In 1970, plastic parts accounted for only about 5% of a car’s total weight. Those of us who burned ourselves on metal dashboards and steering wheels won’t argue with that number. Today, it’s more like 15%, and the chance of the percentage climbing even higher is almost a given.

Biomaterials & scaffolds for tissue engineering Every day thousands of surgical procedures are performed to replace or repair tissue that has been damaged through disease or trauma. The developing field of tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate damaged tissues by combining cells from the body with highly porous scaffold biomaterials, which act as templates for tissue regeneration, to guide the growth of new tissue. This article describes … Read more on…. Click Here to Read More

Product DescriptionSince 1946 Plastics Mold Engineering Handbook has been a valued reference for engineers involved in one of the fastest growing and changing areas of technology. The fifth edition continues the tradition by providing basic information on the aspects of plastics mould construction and the moulding processes that utilize moulds producing the multitude of plastic parts in production today. The handbook has been extensively revised to provide new information on methods, materials and means to meet the needs of today’s moulders. Dubois and Pribble’s Plastics Mold Engineering….

Product DescriptionThis book presents in a single volume the basic essentials of the properties and processing behaviour of plastics and composites. The aim is to give engineers and technologists a sound understanding of basic principles without the introduction of unduly complex levels of mathematics or chemistry and thereby set plastics in their proper context as engineering materials. This textbook pioneered the approach whereby both properties and processing of reinforced and unreinforced plastics are covered in a single volume. It assumes no prior knowledge of plastics, and emphasises the practical aspects of the subject. In this third edition over half the book has been…. Click Here to Read More
