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?

Knowledge of the perforation behavior of a glass fiber-reinforced epoxy/aluminum, modeled by finite element analysis, could help optimize fiber metal laminate designs.
Liqun Zhang, Shaojian He, Jun Liu, Xiaohui Wu , Yiqing Wang, January 2012
Nanodispersed clay can greatly improve crack growth resistance by enhancing tensile strength under static conditions and improving flex-fatigue properties under dynamic conditions.
A new theoretical technique could potentially take the guesswork out of which treatments, when applied to nanoparticles, will produce superior composites.
A series of experiments help to understand the effects of temperature, strain rate, and mode of deformation on the biaxial stress-strain behavior of a common industrial plastic.

A model to improve control of sheet reheating considers temperature-dependent properties, sheet color, and operating conditions, and was validated by experiments.
The distribution of multiwall carbon nanotubes in polystyrene/elastomer blends and their effect on mechanical properties depend on the ratio of the two principal components.
A multiamide nucleating agent, N,N',N"- -tricyclohexyl-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylamide, promotes the nucleation process of polylactide and further accelerates its overall crystallization rate.
