Porous, Cellular and Microcellular Materials 2000


Book Description

Nine papers look first at porous materials for bio-medical and related applications, such as creating a better healing response in the body, then at developments in microcellular foams and polymer foams in general. Among the specific topics are the morphology and mechanical properties of a novel fam







Porous, Cellular and Microcellular Materials


Book Description

Contains the 15 papers presented at the November 1998 symposium sponsored by the materials division of the ASME. The papers are nearly equally divided between the two broad areas of structure-to- property characterization and foam processing. The topics addressed include acoustic, tensile, impact, fracture, and creep behavior of foams. The issues addressed in processing include measurement of gas solubility, approaches to foaming PET, extrusion of microcellular foams and polyethylene foams, and evaluation of blowing agent performance. Two papers discuss the emerging role of porous polymers in biomaterials research. No subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR




Physical Metallurgy


Book Description

This fifth edition of the highly regarded family of titles that first published in 1965 is now a three-volume set and over 3,000 pages. All chapters have been revised and expanded, either by the fourth edition authors alone or jointly with new co-authors. Chapters have been added on the physical metallurgy of light alloys, the physical metallurgy of titanium alloys, atom probe field ion microscopy, computational metallurgy, and orientational imaging microscopy. The books incorporate the latest experimental research results and theoretical insights. Several thousand citations to the research and review literature are included. - Exhaustively synthesizes the pertinent, contemporary developments within physical metallurgy so scientists have authoritative information at their fingertips - Replaces existing articles and monographs with a single, complete solution - Enables metallurgists to predict changes and create novel alloys and processes




Handbook of Polymer Foams


Book Description

This Handbook reviews the chemistry, manufacturing methods, properties and applications of the synthetic polymer foams used in most applications. In addition, a chapter is included on the fundamental principles, which apply to all polymer foams. There is also a chapter on the blowing agents used to expand polymers and a chapter is on microcellular foams - a relatively new development where applications are still being explored.




Microcellular Injection Molding


Book Description

This book presents the most important aspects of microcellular injection molding with applications for science and industry. The book includes: experimental rheology and pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data for different gas materials at real injection molding conditions, new mathematical models, micrographs of rheological and thermodynamic phenomena, and the morphologies of microcellular foam made by injection molding. Further, the author proposes two stages of processing for microcellular injection molding, along with a methodology of systematic analysis for process optimization. This gives critical guidelines for quality and quantity analyses for processing and equipment design.
