Produktbeschreibung

Handbook of Curatives and Crosslinkers, Second Edition presents the mechanisms of action of these additives, methods of their use, their effects on the properties of transformed products, as well as their applications. The book outlines the most-recent information on additives that convert soluble monomers, prepolymers, or polymers to insoluble polymer networks commonly known as thermosetting polymers. Chapters cover the common use of curatives in many industrial products manufactured in large scale, such as adhesives, sealants, coatings, inks, explosives, propellants and foams, and in emerging products such as optoelectronics, light-emitting diodes, shape memory polymers, and more. In addition, crosslinkers used in typical industrial processing methods, such as solar cells, vulcanization, adhesives, foams, and roofing are covered. Each section presents the effect of the additive, including an evaluation of its chemical and physical properties. Also available is the complementary Databook of Curatives and Crosslinkers, Second Edition, which provides information on both the commercial and generic chemical products used as curatives and crosslinkers.
