The Rheology and Processing of Reinforced Thermoplastics

  • Chapter
Mechanical Properties of Reinforced Thermoplastics

Abstract

The fabrication of parts from particle and chopped fiber filled plastics and elastomers is carried out by pumping, extrusion and molding of bulk polymer systems in a fluid state. A proper understanding of these processing operations requires a knowledge of the rheological properties of these systems. It is the purpose of this article to describe these rheological properties, the processing of compounds and their interrelationships.
