Produktbeschreibung

Der Band stellt die neuesten Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Polystyrole vor.- Polystyrole gehören zu den ältesten kommerziell verwerteten Thermoplast-Werkstoffen- innerhalb der letzten fünf Jahre waren wichtige Fortschritte sowohl bei den Polymerisationsverfahren als auch beim Design neuartiger Polymerstrukturen zu verzeichnen- in diesem Band wurde Material zusammengestellt, das bisher nur bei Tagungen präsentiert wurde und deshalb in der Literatur schwer aufzufinden ist. This title addresses the latest developments in the field, covering the major advances that have occurred over the past five years in the polymerization and structure of new generation polystyrenes that are broadening its scope of application.

It covers the advent of branched polystyrenes, syndiotactic polystyrene, high-molecular weight general purpose PS, styrenic interpolymers, and clear SBS copolymers
Presents voluminous research previously only reported at conferences in one reference
Unique coverage of a topic not found in the field

Autorenporträt

Dr. John Scheirs has worked extensively with poly and related polyesters. His early work involved studying the UV stability of PET and poly-ethylene naphthalate - in France and later he was involved with studying various industrial problems involving polyesters, such as photodegradation, annealing, crystallization behaviour, embrittlement, degradation by aminolysis, differential scanning calorimetry analysis, environmental stress cracking, hydrolysis, nucleating agents, transesterification, injection moulding of recycled PET compounds, solid-state polycondensation, desiccant drying of PET and melt stabilization of PET. More recently in the period 1998-2000, he was the technical manager for Coca-Cola Amatil's world-first PET reforming plant which converts post-consumer PET bottles into high-grade, high IV palletized PET for direct reuse in new bottles and injection and sheet moulding applications. John Scheirs is now the principal consultant with ExcelPlas Polymer Technology where he specializes in polymer recycling chemistry, formulation, processing and testing. Duane Priddy is the editor of Modern Styrenic Polymers: Polystyrenes and Styrenic Copolymers, published by Wiley.
