The field of thermoforming is experiencing rapid development driven by commercial factors; millions of tons of polymers are manufactured for use in various applications, both as commodity and specialty polymers. Building on the previous edition published about ten years ago, this edition includes new, as well as, fully revised chapters and updated information on materials and processes. The book is designed to provide practitioners with essential information on processing and technology in a concise manner. The book caters to both engineers and experts by providing introductory aspects, background information, and an overview of thermoforming processing and technology. The troubleshooting section includes flowcharts to assist in correcting thermoforming processes. >em>Thermoforming: Processing and Technology offers a complete account of thermoplastics, covering properties and forming, with chapters providing perspective on the technologies involved. Readers will find it: serves as a handy knowledge source for professionals who occasionally work on thermoforming projects or need to refresh their knowledge; offers a troubleshooting guide that can help to identify and solve challenges that may arise in thermoforming processes; provides insights into process optimization, helping businesses improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance the quality of thermoformed products; acts as a course book to inform students about the thermoforming process. Audience The book will be of interest to mechanical, materials engineers, and process engineers who are involved in designing and optimizing thermoforming processes; professionals in the manufacturing and production industries who use thermoforming as a manufacturing method, such as in the production of plastic packaging, automotive components, and consumer goods; scientists, researchers, and students in plastics/polymer engineering and technology, materials science, polymer technology; professionals responsible for ensuring product quality and compliance with industry standards. 4aPolymer processing 4aIndustrial Chemistry 4aProcess Engineering00aThermoforming; Plastic Forming; Heating Molding; Vacuum Forming; Pressure Forming; Thermoplastic Materials; Mold Design; Heating Elements; Cooling Systems; Thermoforming Process; Process Optimization; Material Selection; Drape Forming; Sheet Temperatures; Thermoforming Defects08iPrinted edition:z978111955586540uhttps://doi.org/10.1002/9781119555889aWiley Online Library40uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1002%2F9781119555889aWiley Online Library423Cover Imageuhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/18223eea-5d02-4b83-95d8-54472a423fe0/9781119555889.cover.gifaWiley Online Library
