Polymers, main components of plastics and rubbers, are being discarded in increasing quantities. But this waste can also be considered as `plastic gold'. Public concern, coupled with the inherent value of the material, means that recycling is imperative. The present book presents a survey of current knowledge in the form of case studies, including current legal and educational issues. Topics covered also include regulation and practice in NATO countries, the economics of recycling, the reprocessing of single polymers and mixtures, and future prospects and strategies. Audience: Vital reading for all polymer scientists, technicians and engineers.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Marino Xanthos is Professor of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Polymer Engineering Center of the New Jersey Institute of Technology since 1995. He studied chemical engineering at the University of Toronto, where he took his Ph.D. degree in 1974. He then became Manager of R & D and Technical Services at Marietta Resources International Ltd. in 1975 and taught at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, from 1980 to 1995. Since 1988, he has also been Director of Research at the Polymer Processing Institute (PPI), Newark, NJ, an independent non-profit research organization located at NJIT.
His interests focus on polymer blends, composites, and foams, polymer modification and reactive processing, plastics recycling and life-cycle assessment, structure-property relationships, environmental considerations in polymer processing.
