Environmental Health Perspectives, 1975 An overview is given of the processing of plastic materials from the handling of polymers in the pellet and powder form to manufacturing of a plastic fabricated product. Various types of equipment used and melt processing ranges of various polymer formulations to make the myriad of plastic products that are commercially available are discussed.

Strain hardening behavior of HDPE geomembranes [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The strain hardening behavior is a good measure for the stress cracking resistance of HDPE geomembranes. Influences of the testing parameters temperature and cross head speed on the strain hardening modulus in material testing of PE were quantified.

Single-sided NMR for the measurement of the degree of cross-linking and curing [PDF]
Journal of Sensors and Sensor Systems, 2018 The degree of cross-linking and curing is one of the most important values concerning the quality of cross-linked polyethylene (PE-X) and the functionality of adhesives and resin-based components. Up to now, the measurement of this property has mostly

Plasticity, plasticity, plasticity…and the rigid problem of sex [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2013 Why is popular understanding of female–male differences still based on rigid models of development, even though contemporary developmental sciences emphasize plasticity? Is it because the science of sex differences still works from the same rigid models?

Towards circular plastics within planetary boundaries
Nature Sustainability, 2023 The rapid growth of plastics production exacerbated the triple planetary crisis of habitat loss, plastic pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Circular strategies have been proposed for plastics to achieve net-zero GHG emissions.
