Handbook of Plastics Joining: A Practical Guide

PDL Staff

Cambridge University Press, Oct 23, 2008 - Technology & Engineering - 588 pages

A hands-on guide to choosing and using old and new technologies for joining plastics and elastomers. Includes detailed discussions of over 25 techniques used to join plastics to themselves and to other materials. Advantages and disadvantages of each technique along with detailed discussions of applications are presented. A second section is organized by material and provides details of using different processes with over 50 generic families of plastics and how different techniques and operating parameters affect weld strength and other criteria. This book is an excellent reference and an invaluable resource for novice and expert alike in determining the best joining technique for their application and providing guidance in how to design and prepare for production.

Flame Retardant - A substance that reduces the flammability of materials such as plastics or textiles in which it is incorporated. There are inorganic flame retardants such as antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) and organic flame retardants such as brominated polyols. The mechanisms of flame retardation vary depending on the nature of material and flame retardant. For example, some flame retardants yield a substantial volume of coke...‎

Page 538 - Polymer - Polymers are high molecular weight substances with molecules resembling linear, branched, cross-linked, or otherwise shaped chains consisting of repeating molecular groups. Synthetic polymers are prepared by polymerization of one or more monomers. The monomers comprise low-molecular-weight reactive substances, often containing more than one reactive molecular bond or chemical bond. Natural polymers have molecular structures similar to synthetic polymers but are not man made, occur in nature,...‎
