Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Handbook of Nucleating Agents, Third Edition provides information on how to increase the production rate, modify structure and morphology, improve mechanical performance, and reduce the haze of polymeric products with proper selection of nucleating agents (and/or the so-called clarifying agents). It also analyzes important publications found in open and patent literature, with special attention given to the findings of the last five years which brought many new important developments. The book is divided into 14 chapters, each of which concentrates on the essential performance of nucleating agents. Chemical origin and related properties of nucleating agents are analyzed in general terms to highlight the differences in their properties. The specific agents are discussed in Databook of Nucleating Agents, which is published as a separate book to help in the selection of products available in the commercial markets and analyze the properties of different products. Information in Databook and Handbook is totally different without any repetition. The next six chapters of the Handbook discuss the most essential theoretical knowledge required for the proper selection and use of nucleating and clarifying agents. These include polymer crystallization with and without nucleating agents, parameters of crystallization, essential influences on the nucleation processes, measures of nucleation efficiency, mechanisms of nucleation, and effective methods of dispersion of nucleating agents.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Polymers used in electronics and electrical engineering are essential to the development of high-tech products, with applications in space, aviation, health, automotive, communication, energy harvesting and storage, light-emitting and sensing, flexible electronics, robotic systems, analytical sensors, consumer products, and more. Conductivity is the first feature that comes to mind with these polymers, but they are currently much more complex, having shape-memory, piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and many other properties. Typical features of mainstream polymers, such as mechanical performance, optical behavior, and environmental stability, are required by polymers used in electronics, but frequently they must be enhanced to perform in these demanding applications. In many applications, the properties of typical polymers (usually included in popular handbooks) are not sufficient, creating the need to develop special grades or simply use completely new chemistry for their synthesis. Similarly, the typical set of properties included in the description of the mainstream polymer is not sufficient for polymer selection for these applications as they require different data, data that is meticulously detailed in the Handbook of Polymers for Electronics. The book provides readers with the most up-to-date information from the existing literature, manufacturing data, and patent filings. Presenting data for all polymers based on a consistent pattern of arrangement, the book provides details organized into the following sections: General; history; synthesis; structure; commercial polymers; physical properties; electrical properties; mechanical properties; chemical resistance; flammability; weather stability; thermal stability; biodegradation; toxicity; environmental impact; processing; blends; analysis. The contents, scope, treatment and novelty of the data makes this book an essential resource for anyone working with polymeric materials used in modern electronic applications. …
