Multicomponent polymeric materials The book offers an in depth review of the materials design and manufacturing processes employed in the development of multi component or multiphase polymer material systems. This field has seen rapid growth in both academic and industrial research as multiphase materials are increasingly replacing traditional single component materials in commercial applications. Many obstacles can be overcome by processing and using multiphase materials in automobile construction aerospace food processing and other chemical industry applications. The comprehensive description of the processing characterization and application of multiphase materials presented in this book offers a world of new ideas and potential technological advantages for academics researchers students and industrial manufacturers from diverse fields including rubber engineering polymer chemistry materials processing and chemical science. From the commercial point of view it will be of great value to those involved in processing optimizing and manufacturing new materials for novel end use applications. The book takes a detailed approach to the description of process parameters process optimization mold design and other core manufacturing information. Details of injection extrusion and compression molding processes have been provided based on the most recent advances in the field. Over two comprehensive sections the book covers the entire field of multiphase polymer materials from a detailed description of material design and processing to the cutting edge applications of such multiphase materials. It provides both precise guidelines and general concepts for the present and future leaders in academic and industrial sectors Section I: Multicimponent Polymer Material Processing 1: Introduction: Multi Component Materials 2: Design for Multicomponent Materials 3: Design of Mold for Multicomponent Material 4: Injection Molding for Multicomponent Materials 5: Extrusion of Multicomponent Product 6: Compression for Multiphase Products 7: Paints and Coating of Multicomponent Product Section II: Applications of Multicomponent Product 8: Multilayer Polymer Films 9: Hybrid Systems for Multi Layer Fuel and Air Hoses in Automobiles 10: Multilayer Pipes 11: Multilayer (Fuel) Storage Tank 12: Multilayer Bottles 13: Multiphase Materials for Tire Applications 14: Interfacial Compatibilization of Multilayered Products 15: Multilayer Nanowires and Miscellaneous Multilayer Products
