E-grāmata: Handbook of Polymer Processing Additives

Handbook of Polymer Processing Additives provides insight on the selection of additives, their performance mechanisms, essential application properties, as well as a complete analysis of the related literature and patents. Acid scavengers, air release, anticaking, antigassing, anti-gelling, anti-settling, hydrolysis stabilizers, and moisture scavengers are each covered. Information on the use of additives in various products is covered and divided into sections focusing on types and concentrations, reasons for use, advantages and disadvantages of use, effects on product properties, and examples of formulation. Processing methods are similarly divided into sections on types and concentrations, effects on the process, effect on product properties, advantages and disadvantages of use, and examples of formulation. All essential aspects of chemistry, physical properties, influence on properties of final products, formulations, methods of incorporation, analysis, and effects on health and environment are considered. The book is an excellent companion to the Databook of Polymer Processing Additives.
