    Polymer Processing

    Uploaded by

    Dr Jignesh Trivedi
    Polymer materials can be manufactured and processed into final products through various techniques. Key techniques include deformation through melting, in the rubbery state, or by dissolution. This involves shaping the polymers using processes like extrusion, injection molding, calendering, vacuum forming, casting, and solution spinning. The state of the raw material (solid, liquid, dispersion) and the thermal and chemical properties determine which processing methods can be used to produce the final shapes and products.

    POLYMER TECHNOLOGY

    Polymer
    manufacturing Polymer processing

    How Polymeric Manufactured Polymers may be


    Materials prepared? given form (e.g. powder, pellets,
    granules and liquids – use by us
    Transformation
    Causing deformation in the of polymeric
    polymer materials from
    raw materials
    Allowing it to set in a defined into final
    confinement products.
    To give shapes to polymeric materials – the different techniques
    adopted are :
    1)Deformation through melting – The processes which adopt this
    technique, subject the polymer to melt and restrain the material
    within the confines of defined shapes and allow it to set.
    Important Processes : extrusion, injection molding,
    Calendering and melt spinning.
    2)Deformation in the rubbery state - Every Polymer - heated –
    rubbery state before becoming viscous liquid. Deformation in this
    state and setting operation – carried out subsequently.
    Important Processes : vacuum forming, pressure forming
    3)Deformation by dissolution : Polymer – made into solution by
    using a suitable solvent and then shaped into the desired form and
    removing the solvent subsequently.
    Important Processes : casting, slush moulding, solution
    spinning etc.
    4) Shaping through machining : similar to machining of metals
    e.g PVC rods may be shaped by lathe or milling machine to
    give definite shapes.
    Many final shapes – obtained by using more than one method
    (state of matter of raw material (i.e. melt flow behaviour) and
    the chemical/physical methods (i.e. thermal properties)
    involved)
    Polymer stocks used in various processing methods:
    Solid (granule or Dispersion
    powder) (suspension or emulsion)
    Moulding (compression, Coating, Casting,
    transfer, injection and Rotational Moulding
    Liquids
    blow types), Extrusion, Melts
    Sheet Forming (by Coating,
    Spinning,
    extrusion or by casting), Impregnation,
    Blow
    Calendering, Laminating Casting,
    moulding,
    Spinning,
    Moulding
    Foaming
    Classification of Polymer Processing
    Thermoplastic Processing Thermoset Processing

    extrusion, thermoforming, compression molding,


    injection molding, blow transfer molding, casting,
    molding, casting, coating, coating, injection molding,
    spinning, rolling, etc. reaction injection molding,
