DOWNLOAD EBOOKHigh performance plastics are replacing traditional materials in hostile environments. They possess characteristics such as exceptional strength, lightweight, temperature resistance (usually in excess of 160°C), chemical resistance and dimensional stability. In addition, plastics are relatively easy to process and can be coloured (or transparent) and moulded to create innovative and attractive structures. The fun car market illustrates the increasing use of plastics materials and the versatility and appeal needed in materials for today's marketplace. This two day international conference brought together experts discussing the latest developments in materials including properties, processing and applications.There are many different types of high performance elastomers. Their unique properties are essential in hostile environments and application areas include the petrochemical and refining industries, automotive, aerospace, defence, wire and cable, construction, chemical plants, nuclear, medical, food and seals. Correct material selection, compounding and processing are essential. These proceedings have brought together a collection of papers for material suppliers, engineers, compounders, manufacturers, processors and end-users of high performance elastomers who discussed the most appropriate materials and formulations for different applications.
