Additives for Polyolefins: Getting the Most out of Polypropylene, Polyethylene and TPO

Michael Tolinski, 2009, 304 pages

ISBN: 
9780815520511
$150.00
Description:

This book focuses on the additives currently important in the polyolefins industry, and on new additives of increasing interest, such as nanofillers and environmentally sustainable materials. Each chapter emphasizes 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 in terms of capability and relative cost.

Functional Fillers for Plastics

Edited by Marino Xanthos, 2005, 451 pages
ISBN: 
3527310541
$222.00
Description:
A comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the major mineral and organic fillers for plastics, their production, structure and properties, as well as their applications in terms of primary and secondary functions. Methods of mixing/incorporation technologies, surface treatments and modifications for enhanced functionality, an analysis of parameters affecting filler performance and a presentation of current and emerging applications are included. The filler materials are classified according to the modification of specific polymer properties rather than the filler’s chemical composition.

Nanostrength Block Copolymers for Epoxy Toughening

Presented by: Robert Barsotti, Arkema, April 23, 2009
$99.00
Description:
Because of their high strength, excellent high-temperature properties, and good adhesion to many surfaces, epoxies are extremely valuable engineering materials in composite, adhesive, coating, and electronic applications. However, epoxies suffer from a very low toughness. Arkema’s controlled radical and anionic polymerization technology has been used to synthesize block-copolymer additives that provide excellent toughening to epoxies without sacrificing modulus or glass transition temperature.

Review on Mechanism and Quantification of Polyethylene Discoloration

Presented by: Dr. Thoi Ho, December 3, 2009
$99.00
Description:
The discoloration of polyolefins has been extensively studied. The key mechanism of discoloration includes oxidation of polyethylene and/or oxidation of hindered phenolics used as antioxidants by oxygen or nitroxide pollutants from hydrocarbon combustion, e.g., internal combustion engines, or methane- or propane-fired heating systems.

Thermal Analysis of Polymers: Fundamentals and Applications

Joseph D. Menczel, R. Bruce Prime, 2009; 688 pages

ISBN: 
978-0-471-76917-0
$150.00
Description:

This book emphasizes the practical uses of thermal analysis. Each chapter guides readers through the applications of thermal analysis for polymer characterization, with detailed examples that show how to perform each step. Chemists and engineers new to thermal analysis, whether in industry, government, or academia, can quickly learn to use the techniques to generate high-quality results. More experienced researchers can expand their repertoire to include a broader range of sophisticated techniques and applications.
