5.0 out of 5 stars
The most comprehensive book on screw extrusion,
By
This review is from: Polymer Extrusion 4E (Hardcover)
This book is undoubtedly the most comprehensive book on polymer extrusion, covering mechanical structure, instrumentation, theory, process analysis, design, modeling & computer simulation, and more.
It is strongly recommendable to researchers and engineers who are interested in polymer extrusion. It might be arguable that the volume is too much as the coverage is too wide, and the depth of descriptions seems to fluctuate a bit. To be precise, my rating is 4 and a half stars.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Best extrusion book I've read,
This review is from: Polymer Extrusion 4E (Hardcover)
Let me preface this review by saying that this book is meant for those with an engineering degree or strong technical background. The text quickly moves into derivations for the analysis of extrusion equipment; and without this background one will easily be lost in the math. That being said, it has pretty much everything a practicing extrusion engineer would need. I haven't had the chance to read through the entire book, however thus far have found the screw design quite helpful in the understanding of the process (as a working engineering in plastic extrusion). Despite having an engineering degree, I do find myself getting lost in the derivations, however this is true with almost any technical reference book. Take your time and this book can prove quite useful in extrusion design/troubleshooting.
