Film Processing

by Toshitaka Kanai (Editor)

Overview

The manufacturing process for preparing very thin polymer products has developed into what is arguably the largest outlet for synthetic polymers. The central theme of this volume is the developments in process hardware and operating techniques that permit increasingly high production rates, optimum property development, unusual degrees of molecular orientation, and the coextrusion of multi-layer, multi-component film and sheet. The strong relationships and the interdependence of these developments on the achievements in polymer design, such as rheology and mechanical and optical properties, are also discussed.

Editorial Reviews

Industrial and academic contributors from Japan, Europe, and North America explore manufacturing processed for preparing polymer products that are very thin, perhaps the single largest outlet for synthetic polymers. They focus on developments in process hardware and operating techniques that permit increasingly high production rates, optimum property development, unusual degrees of molecular orientation, and the co-extrusion of multi-layer and multi-component film and sheet. The 17 studies include discussions of flat and spiral die analysis, die control systems of film thickness distributions, experimental evaluation of bubble instability, the theoretical analysis of film deformation behavior in casting, biaxially oriented film, the theoretical analysis of the tentering process, and the double bubble tubular film process system and theoretical analysis of stress development and scale-up rule.
