In this Chapter, the types of plastics that are being used in these applications are briefly reviewed. The variants of these polymers such as copolymers and blends are discussed together with a brief ...

This book is designed as a practical text for use in the laboratories of the plastic producer and user industries and by others such as universities and institutions who are concerned with problems ...

Deposit control additives prevent soft sludge and hard deposits, while anti-corrosion agents stop corrosion. Rust-inhibiting additives are also available. Other types of oil additives include seal ...

What Is Plastic? Plastics are so infused in our lives that we often don’t realize some of the everyday items made from them, ...

Sustainable approaches to polymers, additives and multifunctional materials, structure-property-utility relationships of plastics and elastomers. Polymers and additives from renewable resources.

This opens the possibility for the realization of translucent solar cells, composed of a very thin, polymer active-layer sandwiched between two transparent electrodes. The design for one type of ...

Large-format additive manufacturing and pellets are quickly turning into a winning combination in many sectors. Rapid Fusion tells us why.

A thermoelectric material that can be used in wearable devices such as smart clothing and maintains stable thermal energy ...

This course will provide an overview of polymers and additives that can be obtained or produced partly or entirely from renewable feedstock to create durable, biodegradable, recyclable polymers. The ...

A new on-surface chemical reaction enables the appearance of solitons in π-conjugated polymers. The reaction, called indenyl coupling, reveals that structural parity drives the appearance of ...
