MATERIAL SCIENCE:
"Polymer Processing"
ABOUT THIS LESSON: Material Science, Polymer Processing
Lesson 25 of 33. This lesson provides a brief overview of fabrication methods used for thermoset plastics. The four processes described are injection molding, blow molding, transfer molding and compression molding.
Knowledge Check:
What two processes are primarily used for thermal plastic materials?
What is meant by “insert molding”?
What are the two plastic materials mention that are used to make plastic wrap?
