Abstract
T he major goal is to make durable products that are composed of polymers and suitable additives, namely plastic materials. This process is generally composed of two stages—a) preparation of the final compound (compounding) by homogeneous dispersion, and b) forming the final shape (shaping). In this chapter the various problems involved in making the final product will be illuminated.
