Often, as part of materials design processes, inevitably, there is a reconciliation where various inadequacies and limitations are addressed relative to design requirements. These adaptations include changes to material composition through copolymerization, blending, physical integration and fixturing, and through process design and component design to minimize stress concentrations, etc. We will consider here the impact […]

If you work with plastic components that include outdoor exposure, then this course will provide you with information that will enhance your understanding of the interaction between UV radiation-based weathering and plastic resins, and help prevent premature failure. Topics covered during this session include an introduction to UV degradation and an explanation of the failure […]

Injection molding parts may present defects that are intrinsic to the nature of the product. These defects could be related to part design flaws, material characteristics, mold design issues or improper process parameters. Regardless of the root cause, it is crucial to identify them in the first place and determine possible solutions for corrective actions […]
