This edited work describes and explains the production of elastic textiles from raw material to fiber and yarn, processing, and application. Environmental aspects (e.g., recycling) are also covered. Expert contributions from industry and research present the state of the art and practical new developments in such a way that users from industry and trade can use them in line with market requirements. In addition, trainees and students as well as textile experts are addressed.\nIn terms of textile technology, textile elasticity is the provision of stretch and recovery on demand. It is one of the most important textile properties as it has a direct effect on the overall functionality of many textile products. It is textile elasticity that opens up various areas of application in special and mass-produced products, especially concerning stretch and compression. Many of the clothing textiles produced today, as well as almost all medical textiles, contain special elastic yarns that enable or reinforce textile elasticity. These points are illustrated with practical examples throughout this book.\nContent:

"Sustainable Packaging Materials" provides a concise introduction to the principles and practices of packaging sustainability. It addresses the important issues that concern packaging professionals, decision makers, managers, CTOs, legislators, researchers, and students, including the viability and future of recycling, bio- and oxo-degradable materials, and plastics alternatives such as paper, glass, and metal. Also covered are new regulations such as the extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, their consequences as to what materials are likely to be banned, and whether microplastics should be a concern for packaging companies.\nWritten by an experienced professor, educator, author, inventor, and entrepreneur, this book offers uniquely clear answers to these challenges, helping readers to identify packaging materials that are likely to be phased out to meet new regulations, and to find alternatives to benefit their research and businesses. They will also be equipped to follow guidelines on the use of various packaging materials to stay ahead of the demands of the industry, and to make informed choices about packaging materials by considering sustainability, performance, and cost. Furthermore, they will be informed of the emerging packaging trends in both academia and industry, and understand the issues associated with microplastic pollution, and the actions recommended to mitigate these challenges.

Rubber Processing: Technology, Materials, and Principles

White, James L.

Practical and easy to understand, this book describes the injection molding process and the settings of the injection molding machine to produce high-quality injection molded parts. It is intended as a guide for the machine operator and provides clear instructions for process optimization. &nbsp; How exactly does injection molding work? How do you set up the machine optimally? How do you produce a high-quality injection molded part? The book conveys all of this in an easy-to-understand form. &nbsp; The common special processes are described in detail and the necessary additional physical principles are explained. The chapter "Optimization of Quality" describes how quality can be documented and which tools are available for quality optimization. This also includes artificial intelligence (SPC, EVOP). The ever-more important topic of sustainability is also covered in a separate chapter.

Plastics failure, to a certain extent, is the result of a phenomenal increase in the number and variety of applications in relatively few years. The focus of this book is on actual field and product failures. The treatment is comprehensive, emphasizing cause and prevention. The concept of the interdependence of material, design, and processing is applied to all examples and cases. The "how to" of prevention is brought out as a logical extension of the cause of failure.

In this single handbook, the editors aim to give a diverse audience of readers a complete account of all aspects of PVC - from monomer manufacture to polymerization; the gamut of such additives as stabilizers, lubricants, plasticizers, impact modifiers, fillers and reinforcing agents; blends and alloys; compounding and processing; characterization; combustion resistance and weatherability; product engineering design; applications; environmental and safety; and finally the PVC industry dynamics. 
The handbook contains both practical formulation information as well as a mechanistic view of why PVC behaves as it does. 
The 2nd edition is comprehensively updated throughout, with all-new chapters on PVC recycling, sustainability, and decarbonization.

Artificial intelligence will fundamentally change our working world. We can already see what technology is capable of, but that is nothing compared to what we can expect in the future. Should we be afraid of these changes, or should we welcome them? Are we at the mercy of an unstoppable force? No, because, after all, we are the ones who have brought about this development. This book will help you evaluate your fears by putting the upcoming changes on a solid base. It shows where we have come from in order to understand where we are going to, or, in other words, where we should go in order to shape the future at our will. Using scenarios, Klaus Kornwachs examines the fields of work in which major AI-related changes can be expected and shows that major disruptions have already taken place in the past. You will find out what today's developments mean and how to classify them without rushing to proclaim a new age. The book offers an outlook on possible future work environments. Work will probably consist of more creative, less routine-based activities. The current employer-employee relationship will change from working to rule to defining and completing tasks independently. This is not a prediction, but a spectrum of possibilities that could result from the technological developments. There is always more than one option. To find out what we want, it is worth looking at the meaning of work as part of human existence. There are many different views on this, all of which are presented in the book. After reading this book, some of the current discussions about the impact of AI on the working world will appear exaggerated to you. You will gain a better understanding of the limits of AI as well as our own limits. You will also be able to decide where AI can overcome those limits and where we need to set limits for ourselves.

This is the first book focusing on the subject of injection mold sampling. A standardized, structured, and systematic procedure for sampling injection molds is essential for a successful injection molding process. This work provides everything you need to know, guiding you from the placing of an order for a mold sampling to the transfer to series production. With the complete sequence of the individual sampling steps, lots of background information, notes, practical examples and tips, and a colorful, well-illustrated design, the sampling procedure is conveyed in a reader-friendly way. The main topics covered are the structured procedure of a mold sampling, taking into account energy efficiency, documentation, and communication; a mold sampling analysis; optimum machine setup using strategic procedures and methods on the injection molding machine; process optimization with subsequent investigation of process capability; and a Run@Rate process. This book is ideally suited for practical users working at the injection molding machine as well as serving as a textbook at vocational schools, further education institutions, and universities.
