DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book deals with the most important substances used as additives in the plastics industry to improve the properties of polymer-based materials. Each chapter deals with a particular type of additive based on the type's definition, structure, and classification according to main effects on polymeric materials. The mechanism of the additive efficiency and its effects on basic properties of specific polymers are discussed and a survey of its important qualities and practical applications is given. Each chapter is introduced by a theoretical analysis of the practical and technological importance of the ad ditive. The book is mainly intended for students in technical colleges, polytechnics and universities who are studying plastics technology and macromolecular chemistry as part of their general curriculum and for technologists in industry engaged in development, sales, technical service and production functions, and applications of plastics. An elementary knowledge of chemistry, physical chemistry and polymer science at the technical college level is assumed. Prague and Montreal, December 1982 J. Stepek, H.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdditives for Polyolefins is a unique quick-reference resource for those who create or use polyethylene and polypropylene compounds—the most commercially important family of plastic materials, making up close to half of the volume all plastics produced and used. These polymers would be useless without various additives. The book focuses on polyolefin additives that are currently important in the plastics industry, alongside new additives of increasing interest, such as nanofillers and environmentally sustainable materials. As much as possible, each chapter emphasises the performance of the additives in the polymer, and the value each relevant additive brings to polypropylene or polyethylene. Where possible, similar additives are compared by capability and relative cost. In this new edition, product tables have been updated with the most current product and company names, new case studies have been added, the role of nanofillers is discussed in greater detail, and the book concludes with a discussion on blending and handling additives, along with an entirely new chapter on how engineers can approach the issue of sustainability when choosing an additive. Assesses capabilities and costs of a range of additives to enable engineers and scientists to make the correct selection for their property requirements Provides concise, practical information about the purpose and use of specific additives, fillers, and reinforcements – demystifying the world of additives by providing clear, engineering explanations, and including real-world application case stories Updated to include additional material on nanofillers, blending and handling, and sustainability

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEver since the beginning of the plastics and rubber industry, it was realized that useful products could be produced only if cer tain additives were incorporated into polymers. With the help of these additives, when physically dispersed in a polymer matrix, it has been possible to improve stability against thermal, oxidative, UV, hydrolytic and biological degradation, mechanical properties, flammability, cost, and processibility of plastics. The enormous growth of the volume of plastics consumed by modern society, and new application areas for plastics, have created a demand for new, better additives and better understanding of their functions in polymer systems. As a result of these trends there is a need for sharing of information on progress achieved in the area of polymer additives among engineers and scientists of the plastics industry and academia. This book is based on expanded and updated papers originally presented at the International Symposium on Polymer Additives, which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, and was sponsored by the American Chemical Society, Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engi neering. The book is divided into five parts which cover advances in various areas of polymer additives. The first part is devoted to the progress in understanding of UV degradation and stabilization of various polymers. Oxidation degradation and stabilization of plastic materials is covered in the second part. New developments in the stabilization of PVC are presented in the third part.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBoth technically and economically, additives form a large and increasingly significant part of the polymer industry, both plastics and elastomers. Since the first edition of this book was published, there have been wide-ranging developments, covering chemistry and formulation of new and more efficient additive systems and the safer use of additives, both by processors in the factory and, in the wider field, as they affect the general public. This new edition follows the successful formula of its predecessor, it provides a comprehensive view of all types of additives, concentrating mainly on their technical aspects (chemistry/formulation, structure, function, main applications) with notes on the commercial background of each. The field has been expanded to include any substance that is added to a polymer to improve its use, so including reinforcing materials (such as glass fibre), carbon black and titanium dioxide. This is a book which has been planned for ease of use and the information is presented in a way which is appropriate to the users' needs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFunctional additives are an essential and often expensive part of many polymer formulations - used both to ensure the efficient processing of materials and to enhance the properties of the finished product in some way. Protection against degradants can be provided as well as the means to produce lighter, foamed products or tough flexible ones. Colourants and fillers are also components of a finished artefact which come in a variety of guises to provide the best solutions of a particular customers' requirements. These applications are governed not only by the polymer systems but also by factors such as legislation, consumer pressure, environmental factors and technical developments. Conversely, the markets for additives are strongly related to those for the polymers in which they are used. Additive suppliers are constantly developing new products in response to technological needs within polymer applications and to satisfy ever-increasing environmental requirements and health and safety standards. A variety of the functional additives currently used in plastics are the subject of environmental concerns e.g. the use of heavy metals in stabilisers and pigments. In addition, health and safety concerns over dust are driving the increased use of additive concentrates or masterbatches. Overall, therefore, this is an area of growing importance and change for the both the polymer industry and additive suppliers. The current review has looked at the effect of the changes in the marketplace on the trends in additives used for the processing and efficient functioning of plastic polymers. The report starts with an executive summary in chapter 2 and is followed by a discussion of the different families of additive materials and their major uses in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 covers product development and general applications. Chapter 5 reviews the suppliers of additives and the change in consumption of the materials by the resin suppliers, polymer compounders and converters. Chapter 6 covers developments in resins and polymer markets which impinge on the uses of additives and Chapter 7 discusses points on legislation which are relevant to a range of additives. An Appendix lists suppliers of additives and a quick reference to their products, by use of the code system utilised in the "European Plastics Directory" published by Rapra Technology.
