\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAutomotive Plastics and Composites: Materials and Processing\u003c/b\u003e \u003c/i\u003eis an essential guide to the use of plastic and polymer composites in automotive applications, whether in the exterior, interior, under-the-hood, or powertrain, with a focus on materials, properties, and processing.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins by introducing plastics and polymers for the automotive industry, discussing polymer materials and structures, mechanical, chemical, and physical properties, rheology, and flow analysis. In the second part of the book, each chapter is dedicated to a category of material, and considers the manufacture, processing, properties, shrinkage, and possible applications, in each case. Two chapters on polymer processing provide detailed information on both closed-mold and open-mold processing. The final chapters explain other key aspects, such as recycling and sustainability, design principles, tooling, and future trends.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an ideal reference for plastics engineers, product designers, technicians, scientists, and R\u0026D professionals who are looking to develop materials, components, or products for automotive applications. The book also intends to guide researchers, scientists, and advanced students in plastics engineering, polymer processing, and materials science and engineering.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyzes mechanical, chemical, physical, and thermal properties, enabling the reader to select the appropriate material for specific applications\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains polymer processing, with thorough coverage of operations across both closed-mold and open-mold processing\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides systematic coverage of materials, including commodity and engineering thermoplastics, bio-based plastics, thermosets, composites, elastomeric polymers, and 3D-printed plastics\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
