Book Description
Fluoroplastics
Author : Jiri George Drobny
Publisher : iSmithers Rapra Publishing
Page : 192 pages
File Size : 16,38 MB
Release : 2006
Category : Science
ISBN : 9781847350077
Book Description
Fluoropolymers were discovered accidentally by Plunkett in 1938. He was working on freon and accidentally polymerised tetrafluoroethylene. The result was polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), more commonly known as Teflon. PTFE is inert to virtually all chemicals and is considered to be the most slippery material in existence - it has the lowest coefficient of friction of any known solid material. These properties have made it one of the most valuable and versatile technologies ever invented, contributing to significant advancements in areas such as aerospace, communications, electronics, industrial.

Emissions from Plastics
Author : C. Henneuse-Boxus
Publisher : iSmithers Rapra Publishing
Page : 152 pages
File Size : 23,40 MB
Release : 2003-06-30
Category : Science
ISBN : 9781859573860
Book Description
This report outlines the key issues regarding emissions from plastics. The report covers emissions from plastics during processing, treatment, storage and end-use. It summarises the published research on a wide variety of materials and settings. New methods of analysis and testing have been developed or adapted to examine these emissions. This report discusses the main techniques used. Data from analysis work on air quality and emissions from plastics is also included in this report. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.
Nucleating Agents
Author : Stuart Fairgrieve
Publisher : iSmithers Rapra Publishing
Page : 146 pages
File Size : 32,35 MB
Release : 2007-11
Category : Science
ISBN : 9781847350831
Book Description
A very important factor in obtaining optimised physical properties from a semi-crystalline polymer is the size of the crystalline structures present in the material, and this crucially depends on the initiation process of crystallisation of the polymer from the melt - nucleation. This review provides information on the development of materials and methods for influencing the nucleation of polymer crystallisation in commercial processing by means of addition of low levels of adjuvants specifically selected for this purpose.
Coextrusion
Author : D. Djordjevic
Publisher : iSmithers Rapra Publishing
Page : 160 pages
File Size : 26,4 MB
Release : 1992
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 9780902348714
Book Description
This report reviews sheet and profile extrusion, wire and cable coating and co-injection, describing both the rheological and structural considerations and the design and selection of machinery. Problems of layer instability and the c094 of layer c098 are addressed, as well as the selection of polymers and the recyclability of coextruded scrap. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.
Analysis of Thermoset Materials, Precursors and Products
Author : Martin J. Forrest
Publisher : iSmithers Rapra Publishing
Page : 164 pages
File Size : 18,21 MB
Release : 2003
Category : Science
ISBN : 9781859573907
Book Description
This report presents an overview of the chemical analysis of thermosets. Materials based on thermosets present the analyst with considerable challenges due to their complexity and the wide range of polymer types and additives available. This review sets out to present an introduction to the analytical techniques and methods that are used to characterise and carry out quality control work on thermosets, investigate the failure of thermosets products and to deformulate thermoset compounds. The review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Rapra Polymer Library database, to facilitate further reading on this subject.

Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 9781859570777
Book Description
This report describes the current state of the art in mixing in the rubber industry from a practical and essentially technological viewpoint. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.
Liquid Crystal Polymers
Author : D. Coates
Publisher : iSmithers Rapra Publishing
Page : 190 pages
File Size : 27,42 MB
Release : 2000
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 9781859572146
Book Description
Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) have a wide range of uses, from strong engineering plastics to delicate gels for use in liquid crystal (LC) displays. For this reason, it is essential reading for materials scientists, engineers or technologists in industry, as well as research laboratories or academia. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.
