The book brings analyses of important publications found in open and patent literature, with special attention given to recent findings that have brought many new essential developments. Sections cover an analysis of chemical origin and related properties of impact modifiers, which are analyzed in general terms to highlight the differences in their properties.
This handbook contains the essential theoretical knowledge required for proper selection and use of impact modifiers, including their morphological structure and distribution in a polymer matrix, the effect of polymer crystallization in the presence of and without impact modifiers, important influences on impact modification, mechanisms of modification, and effective methods of incorporation of impact modifiers.
- Outlines strategies for modifying the structure and improving the mechanical properties of polymeric products through proper application of impact modifiers
- Provides detailed information on impact modifiers, including their morphological structure and distribution in a polymer matrix, the effects of polymer crystallization with and without impact modifiers, influences on impact modification, the mechanisms of modification, and more
- Includes analytical techniques, heath and safety and environmental considerations, and processing methods
