  2. Plastic compounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_compounding

    Plastic compounding scheme. Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. [1] These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers.

  3. Polymer chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_chemistry

    Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the structures of chemicals, chemical synthesis, and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used within polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other chemistry sub-disciplines like organic chemistry ...

  4. Journal of Cellular Plastics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Cellular_Plastics

    The Journal of Cellular Plastics is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers the field of polymer science and foamed plastics technology. The journal was established in 1965 and is published by SAGE Publications. it was established in 1965 and the editors-in-chief are Chul B. Park (University of Toronto).

  5. Polymer stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_stabilizer

    Stabilizers are used at all stages of the polymer life-cycle. They allow plastic items to be produced faster and with fewer defects, extend their useful lifespan, and facilitate their recycling. [1] However they also continue to stabilise waste plastic, causing it to remain in the environment for longer. Many different types of plastic exist ...

  6. Polymer nanocomposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_nanocomposite

    These PNC's belong to the category of multi-phase systems (MPS, viz. blends, composites, and foams) that consume nearly 95% of plastics production. These systems require controlled mixing/compounding, stabilization of the achieved dispersion, orientation of the dispersed phase, and the compounding strategies for all MPS, including PNC, are ...

  7. Polymer engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_engineering

    Polymer engineering is generally an engineering field that designs, analyses, and modifies polymer materials. Polymer engineering covers aspects of the petrochemical industry, polymerization, structure and characterization of polymers, properties of polymers, compounding and processing of polymers and description of major polymers, structure property relations and applications.

  8. Masterbatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterbatch

    The additives in a masterbatch are chosen to impart desired physical property changes to a final plastic product. They can increase volumetric output due to thermal conductivity and volumetric expansion at a given temperature as well as potentially increasing the toughness, flexural stiffness, adhesion, and printability of a final product. [6]

  9. Polymer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_science

    Polymer science or macromolecular science is a subfield of materials science concerned with polymers, primarily synthetic polymers such as plastics and elastomers. The field of polymer science includes researchers in multiple disciplines including chemistry, physics, and engineering.
