Ebook: Polymer Fillers and Stiffening Agents: Applications and Non-traditional Alternatives

This book presents both established and emerging technologies which show the immense possibilities of using non-traditional fillers and stiffening agents in the plastics industry. After an introduction to basic polymer chemistry, a range of non-petroleum-based fillers and stiffening agents for polymer products are identified and their optimal applications given.

• Includes introductory chapters on the underlying chemistry of polymers and polymer additives.
• Gives practical recommendations on improving operating efficiency on the factory floor.
