Recent renewed interest in further reducing worldwide production and consumption of CFCs, and other chemicals implicated in the depletion of the earth's stratospheric ozone layer, is responsible for this study, which covers currently exempted and excluded CFC aerosol applications and their alternatives. Sections on material design, methods of manufacture and successful use of plastics containing conductive fillers, intrinsically conductive polymers and polymers utilizing new blending technology are included and these technologies are compared to other methods such as metal plating.
Chapters cover the effect of processing parameters and formulation on material performance.
ChemTec Publishing Table of Contents Order Online Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Commercial Polymer Blends Edited by Utracki, L.A. Polymer blending is nearly as old as the polymers themselves. However, the literature dedicated to this technology is relatively recent, and primarily focused on the academic aspects of polymer blends. It seems that there is a dichotomy of efforts. On one hand, annually the industry generates about 30 million tons of blends, and on the other, academia produces over 10,000 publications dedicated mainly to studies of model systems. The only place where these two streams meet is a laboratory of industrial researcher.
