Abstract

La modernité québécoise est-elle caractérisée par une absence du maître ? Voilà la question à partir de laquelle sont relues ici les œuvres de Saint-Denys Garneau, de Jacques Ferron et de Réjean Ducharme. Pour y répondre, Michel Biron a lu attentivement leurs principales œuvres à l’aide de la sociocritique des textes et de l’anthropologie. Le concept de « liminarité », ainsi que l’a pensé Victor W. Turner, lui permet de jeter un éclairage nouveau sur ces classiques de la littérature québécoise. Chez eux, les bords sont peuplés, mais le centre, lui, est vide ; cette étonnante géographie suppose des communautés qui ne le sont pas moins. Garneau, Ferron et Ducharme imaginent une société en creux, un espace de communication soumis aux lois de l’amitié plutôt qu’à un système hiérarchisé. La littérature s’offre à eux tel un terrain vague, un « grand loisir » (Ferron) où rien n’est vraiment interdit. À la littérature comme institution et à l’histoire comme série de ruptures, l’écrivain liminaire, qui refuse d’être un « homme de lettres » (Ducharme), oppose l’écriture comme « commencement perpétuel » (Garneau). Il ne se reconnaît plus de maîtres. Mais en a-t-il jamais eus ?

Abstract

Industrial Applications of Renewable Plastics: Environmental, Technological, and Economic Advances provides practical information to help engineers and materials scientists deploy renewable plastics in the plastics market. It explores the uses, possibilities, and problems of renewable plastics and composites to assist in material selection and rejection. The designer’s main problems are examined, along with basic reminders that deal with structures and processing methods that can help those who are generally familiar with metals understand the unique properties of plastic materials. The book offers a candid overview of main issues, including conservation of fossil resources, geopolitical considerations, greenhouse effects, competition with food crops, deforestation, pollution, and disposal of renewable plastics. In addition, an overview of some tools related to sustainability (Life cycle assessments, CO2 emissions, carbon footprint, and more) is provided. The book is an essential resource for engineers and materials scientists involved in material selection, design, manufacturing, molding, fabrication, and other links in the supply chain of plastics. The material contained is of great relevance to many major industries, including automotive and transport, packaging, aeronautics, shipbuilding, industrial and military equipment, electrical and electronics, energy, and more. Provides key, enabling information for engineers and materials scientists looking to increase the use of renewable plastic materials in their work Presents practical guidance to assist in materials selection, processing methods, and applications development, particularly for designers more familiar with other materials, such as metals Includes a candid discussion of the pros and cons of using renewable plastics, considering the technical, economic, legal, and environmental aspects

Abstract

Thermoplastics represent appx 90% by weight of all plastics consumed world-wide. We know them mainly in the form of polythenes, polyolefins, polystyrenes, nylons and acrylics. Under different heating conditions and by varying the composition of the plastic it is possible to make many different products with differing properties.This is a decision-making tool and source-book of information for plastics users, providing detailed accounts of the materials used, their economics,the selection of appropriate materials, and the use of thermoplastic resins and their composites. By having this

Abstract

A succinct source of information for designers and manufacturers. A decision-making tool for those who need a quick and pragmatic account of thermosets and composites. A synoptic account of the techno-economics and properties of all the commonly-used thermosets and composites. Designers and manufacturers using thermosets and composites, or those intending to do so, often need a succinct source of information on the economics and properties of these materials. This book provides a synoptic approach. It covers the economic importance of thermosets and composites
