Hardcover. There is considerable interest within the polymer industry in developing approaches to modification of polymer systems to achieve improved or altered performance. Reactive processing is perceived by the polymer industry as an economic route to achieving modification targets, and a great deal of research is being carried out into understanding the chemistry of modification and thus develop the technology further. By bringing together workers involved in both basic research and various development programmes, this book provides a review of this commercially important technique. There is considerable interest within the polymer industry in developing methods to modify existing polymer systems to achieve improvements in their functional or engineering properties. This book is useful for chemists, technologists, materials' scientists and engineers working in various areas of the polymer industry.

Riassunto:

There is considerable interest within the polymer industry in developing approaches to modification of polymer systems to achieve improved or altered performance. Reactive processing is perceived by the polymer industry as an economic route to achieving modification targets, and a great deal of research is being carried out into understanding the chemistry of modification and thus develop the technology further. By bringing together workers involved in both basic research and various development programmes, this book provides a review of this commercially important technique.
