Description:
Introduction to Plastics Testing is a sure way to learn about equipment and methods used to bend, break, burn and otherwise characterize polymeric materials used across the wide range of consumer and industrial applications. Engineers, designers, and processors will learn the basic terminology and methods used to solve problems, and improve processing efficiencies. The Introduction to Plastics Testing will show how testing can be applied to the many forms of plastic including the raw resin pellets, injection molded parts, or extruded film, sheet and tube. Reference will be made to additional forms of polymeric materials such as composites, adhesives, and coatings. The Introduction to Plastics Testing will give the participants an overview of the most common tests, and the reference tools to understand where to find more information.
