This chapter includes over 2620 alphabetically arranged technical terms from many areas of plastic technology with references to definitions, figure numbers of the corresponding quality and damage figures, the type of plastic, processing, and mold designation, the contrasting methods used, and 74 LM and SEM subchapters (see the first page of the Chapter Quality and Damage Figures). Since there are often multiple reasons for an error, all or the most important ones are mentioned. This facilitates the search.
This chapter contains, in alphabetical order, explanations of the technical terms (definitions) in the Technical Glossary with links (arrows) to related quality and damage causes, manufacturing processes, and microscopy accompanying studies.
This chapter contains 588 figures from many areas of plastics technology, each with an explanation of the cause of damage, and in 74 historically evolved subchapters.
