He argues that the postcolonial challenge exposes the limitation of Western social thought to explain many pressing social and economic issues, domestic and global. The End of Conceit concludes that, ultimately, what the West needs is not more and better theory but an entirely new way of thinking - one that will put an end to its current deep-seated conceit. 606 $aCivilization, Western$y21st century 606 $aSociology 607 $aWestern countries$xForeign relations 615 0$aCivilization, Western 615 0$aSociology. 676 $a327.091821 700 $aChabal$b Patrick$0243091 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808270503321 996 $aEnd of conceit$94014608 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07611nam 2202113z- 450 001 9910743282603321 005 20230911 035 $a(CKB)5690000000228481 035 $a(oapen)doab113904 035 $a(EXLCZ)995690000000228481 100 $a20230920c2023uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aAdvanced Thermoplastic Polymers and Composites 210 $cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2023 215 $a1 online resource (622 p.) 311 08$a3-0365-8058-1 330 $aIn the last decade, design and material innovations for manufacturing composites have reached new heights. Thermoplastic polymers and their composites have become the most in-demand materials in recent times as they provide numerous advantages over thermoset composites. Thermoplastic polymers have a high damage tolerance, high impact resistance, recyclability, formability, weldability, repairability, and cost-effectiveness compared with thermoset composites. Thermoplastic polymers and composites are widely used in automotive, aerospace, electrical and electronics, industrial, and medical applications. Thermoplastic composites are estimated to grow from USD 28.0 billion in 2019 to USD 36.0 billion by 2024. High-performance thermoplastic materials are used in conjunction with a multitude of manufacturing processes like injection moulding, thermoforming, prepreg, liquid injection processes, automated tape placement, filament winding, pultrusion, additive manufacturing, and other processes. The material limits, design, and assembly requirements, as well as the processing constraints, are significantly important for the realisation of novel product development using a manufacturing process by simultaneously optimising reliability, safety, and other performance-related issues. The current thermoplastic material systems and manufacturing techniques still have plenty of room for optimisation and advancement. This reprint presents the latest scientific and technical advances in thermoplastic materials and their composites, processing, characterisation, product development, and manufacturing process parameter optimisations. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 606 $aMaterials science$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $a3D composites 610 $a3D printing 610 $a4D printing 610 $aABS 610 $aadhesion 610 $aaircraft cabin interior panels 610 $aantibacterial activity 610 $aantimicrobial 610 $aautomated fiber placement 610 $aautomated tape placement 610 $abending 610 $abenzimidazole 610 $abio-applications 610 $abiobased polymer composites 610 $abiodegradable 610 $abiopolymers 610 $ablock copolyurethane 610 $abone scaffold 610 $acarbon nanofiller 610 $acarbon nanotube 610 $acarbon nanotubes 610 $acardo fragments 610 $achitosan 610 $acircular distribution 610 $aclay minerals 610 $aco-bonding 610 $aco-plasticization 610 $acompatibilizer 610 $acomposite 610 $acompound 610 $aconsolidation 610 $acopper nanoparticles 610 $acrystallization behavior 610 $aCT scan 610 $adiffusion 610 $adigital fabrication 610 $aDOE 610 $aelectrical properties 610 $aenergetic binder 610 $aEWF 610 $aextrusion 610 $afailure mechanisms 610 $aFDM 610 $afiber length 610 $afiber orientation 610 $afiber reinforced 610 $afibre misalignment 610 $afilament winding 610 $afinite element modelling 610 $afluorinated aromatic polyimide 610 $afoam 610 $afoams 610 $afractography 610 $afracture toughness 610 $agraphene nanoplatelet 610 $aheat resistance 610 $ahigh temperature 610 $ahollow composite tubes 610 $ahybrid composites 610 $ahybrid fibers 610 $aimpregnation processes 610 $ain situ consolidation 610 $ainjection molding 610 $ainterphase 610 $aIR spectroscopy 610 $aisosorbide 610 $aligand 610 $along-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic 610 $alow dielectric loss 610 $amanufacturing 610 $amaterial programming 610 $amechanical properties 610 $amechanical property 610 $ametallic ions 610 $amicrocrystalline cellulose 610 $amolecular chain orientation 610 $amolecular dynamics simulation 610 $ananocomposite 610 $ananocomposites 610 $ananofiller 610 $anon-crimp fabrics 610 $anon-structural composite panels 610 $aoff-axis flexure behaviour 610 $aoil palm fiber 610 $aoil palm fiber composites 610 $aoMMT 610 $aon-axis flexure behaviour 610 $aoptimal curing of prepregs 610 $apackaging 610 $aPBAT 610 $aPCL 610 $aphosphorescent composites 610 $aphysio-thermo-mechanical properties 610 $aPLA 610 $apoly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) 610 $apolyamide 12 610 $apolyethylene glycol 610 $apolyimide foam 610 $apolymer modification 610 $apolymer-layered silicates 610 $apolymers 610 $apolyphenylene sulfone 610 $apolypropylene 610 $apolyurethane 610 $aPPS 610 $aprocess modeling 610 $aprocessing 610 $aprocessing parameters 610 $aproperties 610 $arecycled bone powder 610 $areinforcements 610 $aresin transfer molding 610 $aretrogradation 610 $arheological properties 610 $arheological property 610 $arheology 610 $arigid closed-cell foam 610 $ascratch 610 $ascratch resistance 610 $asensitivity 610 $ashape-memory polymers 610 $asimulation 610 $astarch 610 $asupercritical CO2 610 $aTaguchi 610 $atextured surface 610 $athermal analysis 610 $athermal and mechanical 610 $athermal behavior 610 $athermal conductivity 610 $athermal properties 610 $athermoforming 610 $athermoplastic 610 $athermoplastic composites 610 $athermoplastic face sheets 610 $athermoplastic matrix composites 610 $athermoplastic polymer 610 $athermoplastic resin 610 $athermoplastic starch 610 $athermoplastics 610 $athermoset 610 $athermosetting resins 610 $athermostability 610 $aultra-high molecular weight component 610 $avacuum assisted resin infusion (VARI) 610 $avacuum forming 610 $avoid content 610 $avoids 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 615 7$aMaterials science 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743282603321 996 $aAdvanced Thermoplastic Polymers and Composites$93560344 997 $aUNINA
