With  the inclusion of additives, plastics can be used in a variety of areas  competing directly with other materials, but there are still many  challenges to overcome. Some additives are severely restricted by  legislation, others interfere with each other-in short their  effectiveness varies with circumstances. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePlastics Additives\u003c\/em\u003e explains these issues in an alphabetical  format making them easily accessible to readers, enabling them to find  specific information on a specific topic. Each additive is the subject  of one or more articles, providing a suffinct account of each given  topic. \u003cbr\u003e  An international group of experts in additive and polymer science,  from many world class companies and institutes, explain the recent  rapid changes in additive technology. They cover novel additives  (scorch inhibitors, compatibilizers, surface-modified particulates  etc.), the established varieties (antioxidants, biocides, antistatic  agents, nucleating agents, fillers, fibres, impact modifiers,  plasticizers) and many others, the articles also consider  environmental concerns, interactions between additives and legislative  change. With a quick reference guide and introductory articles that  provide the non-specialist and newcomer with relevant information,  this reference book is essential reading for anyone concerned with  plastics and additives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412727207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5862-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 633\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45987374727308,"sku":"9780412727207","price":278.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412727207.jpg?v=1775735711","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780412727207","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
