Polymers are substances containing a large number of structural units joined by the same type of linkage. These substances often form into a chain-like structure. Starch, cellulose, and rubber all possess polymeric properties. Today, the polymer industry has grown to be larger than the aluminium, copper and steel industries combined. Polymers already have a range of applications that far exceeds that of any other class of material available to man. Current applications extend from adhesives, coatings, foams, and packaging materials to textile and industrial fibres, elastomers, and structural plastics. Polymers are also used for most composites, electronic devices, biomedical devices, optical devices, and precursors for many newly developed high-tech ceramics. This book presents leading-edge research in this rapidly-changing and evolving field.
Redaktor naukowy: Edward Szłyk Redaktorzy pomocniczy: Sylwia Grabska-Zielińska, Anna Kmieciak, Anna Filipiak-Szok Przedstawiamy Państwu pierwszy tom monografii Na pograniczu chemii, biologii i fizyki – rozwój nauk będącej zbiorem artykułów naukowych napisanych przez uczestników XIII Kopernikańskiego Seminarium Doktoranckiego. Prezentowane prace obejmują zagadnienia z następujących dyscyplin naukowych: biologia, chemia, fizyka, nauki o żywności oraz nauki materiałowe. Tematyka monografii wpisuje się w aktualne trendy naukowe, kontynuując tym samym interdyscyplinarne idee Kopernikańskiego Seminarium Doktoranckiego. Celem redaktorów tomu było utrzymanie jak najwyższej jakości naukowej i edytorskiej publikacji. Opublikowane artykuły wnoszą nową wiedzę do dziedziny nauk ścisłych i przyrodniczych, a ich Czytelnik może znaleźć cenne źródła poznawcze i metodologiczne dla swoich zainteresowań naukowych.
The Basics of Troubleshooting in Plastics Processing is a condensed practical guide that gives the reader a broad introduction to properties of thermoplastics plastics, additives, the major processes (extrusion, injection molding, rotational molding, blow molding, and thermoforming), as well as troubleshooting. The main goal is to provide the plastics processor with an improved understanding of the basics by explaining the science behind the technology. Machine details are minimized as the emphasis is on processing problems and the defects in an effort to focus on basic root causes to problems and how to solve them. The book’s framework is troubleshooting in plastics processing because of the importance it has to the eventual production of high quality end products. Each chapter contains both practical and detailed technical information. This basic guide provides state-of-the-art information on: Processing problems and defects during manufacturing Plastics materials, their properties and characterization The plastics processing techniques Plastics additives Troubleshooting of the 5 main plastics processes References for further reading
This is the first book to present the idea of using Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing in the microalgae industry for environmental biotechnology. It provides the latest developments on microalgae for use in environmental biotechnology, explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, and discusses the transition to smart manufacturing and how state of the art technologies can be incorporated. It covers applications, technologies, challenges, and future perspectives. • Showcases how Industry 4.0 can be applied in algae industry • Covers new ideas generated from Industry 4.0 for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) • Demonstrates new technologies invented to cater to Industry 4.0 in microalgae • Features worked examples related to biological systems Aimed at chemical engineers, bioengineers, and environmental engineers, this is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and industry professionals in the microalgae biotechnology field.
