Flexible Packaging - Adhesives, Coatings and Processes

The aim of this review is to concentrate on the engineering thermoplastic uses of polyamide materials, thus focussing on injection moulding and extrusion applications, rather than the production of fibres and monofilaments for which polyamides were originally commercially developed. The dominance that polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 have within the nylon product sector is also reflected within the review. This report provides an excellent introduction to the topic of polyamides, outlining aspects from the basic chemistry and nomenclature through to the properties and applications of specific materials. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.
