The SPE Library contains thousands of papers, presentations, journal briefs and recorded webinars from the best minds in the Plastics Industry. Spanning almost two decades, this collection of published research and development work in polymer science and plastics technology is a wealth of knowledge and information for anyone involved in plastics.
The SPE Library is just one of the great benefits of being an SPE member! Are you taking advantage of all of your SPE Benefits?
Photolytic and thermal degradation are important processes to the overall sustainability and environmental impact of a flame retardant for a given commercial application. Details on accelerated photolytic aging and recycling studies of ethane bis(pentabromophenyl) (EBP), often called decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), will be presented.
The chemical and physical effects of ionizing radiation on polymeric materials is reviewed with a primary focus on radiation sterilization of disposable medical device materials.

Tandem foam sheet extrusion is a complex process that
requires optimization to produce quality sheet at high rates.
The goal of this paper is to describe the process, show how
rates can be increased, provide a guideline for sheet quality,
and provide case studies.

A new injection molding processing strategy called iMFLUX is becoming popular. iMFLUX is a low constant pressure process for filling and packing the part. Commercial injection molding simulation software traditionally is not designed for this process. However, you can simulate it. This paper will show how to set up and run simulations using currently available simulation software. Validation work of simulation work is also discussed.
Material selection during the design phase can dictate
a final part's ability to be recycled or not. This paper looks
at an appearance part that transformed three different
material solutions into a single material solution such that
the final part was now recyclable and produced at lower
cost. A look at the technical challenges and solutions to
achieve this result is included.
