Pastics Manufacturing Textbook

04/20/2010 11:15 AM

Can anyone suggest a good textbook that covers the manufacturing of plastic parts? It can cover the manufacturing of other materials but I will be focusing on plastics. Thanks.

That's a very broad topic. People spend 4-5 years learning about manufacturing of plastics. Thermoplastic? thermosat? injection molded? Blow molded? Vacuum formed? Lamination? Rotational molded? Hand lay-up. Press lay-up?

And most universities have information.

Obviously the question is too broad for a simple answer.

I recommend you start with ENGINEERING MATERIALS HANDBOOK VOLUME 2 ENGINEERING PLASTICS published by ASM INTERNATIONAL. Volumn 1 covers Composites. I recommend you look over the list of titles published by ASM International.
