Functional Fillers for Plastics (#0517)
Edited by Marino Xanthos, 2005, 451 pages
Price: $222.00 / SPE Member: $185.00

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.
