    1/n [oc(oc 6 h 4) 2 cme 2] n + h 2 o → (hoc 6 h 4) 2 cme 2 + co 2 More than 100 studies have explored the bioactivity of bisphenol A derived from polycarbonates. Bisphenol A appeared to be released from polycarbonate animal cages into water at room temperature and it may have been responsible for enlargement of the reproductive organs of ...

  3. Thermoforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoforming

    Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. The sheet, or "film" when referring to thinner gauges and certain material types, is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that permits it to be ...

  4. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

    This process is the same as a regular extrusion process up until the die. There are three main types of dies used in this process: annular (or crosshead), spider, and spiral. Annular dies are the simplest, and rely on the polymer melt channeling around the entire cross section of the die before exiting the die; this can result in uneven flow.

  5. Plastic forming machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_forming_machine

    Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, and stamped to a specific shape in a 2-part mold. Or a vacuum can be used to pull the plastic sheet onto the mold in a simplified process known as vacuum forming. The excess material is trimmed off and recycled.

  6. Economics of plastics processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_Plastics...

    Oxo-degradable plastics: [2] these are petroleum-based plastics with additives such as transition metals and metals salts that promote the process of fragmentation of the plastic when exposed to a particular environment, such as high temperature or oxygen rich one, for a prolonged period of time. Fragmentation exposes a larger surface area of ...

  7. Blow molding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blow_molding

    The blow molding process begins with softening plastic by heating a preform or parison. The parison is a tube-like piece of plastic with a hole in one end through which compressed air can enter. The plastic workpiece is then clamped into a mold and air is blown into it. The air pressure inflates the plastic which conforms to the mold.

  8. Injection moulding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_moulding

    The power required for this process of injection moulding depends on many things and varies between materials used. Manufacturing Processes Reference Guide states that the power requirements depend on "a material's specific gravity, melting point, thermal conductivity, part size, and molding rate." Below is a table from page 243 of the same ...

  9. Polycarbonate (functional group) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate_(functional...

    A polycarbonate is an oxocarbon dianion consisting of a chain of carbonate units, where successive carbonyl groups are directly linked to each other by shared additional oxygen atoms. That is, they are the conjugate bases of polycarbonic acids , the conceptual anhydrides of carbonic acid , or polymers of carbon dioxide .
