Separate chapters review information on chemical structure, PVC manufacturing technology, morphology, degradation by thermal energy, UV, gamma, other forms of radiation, mechanodegradation, and chemical degradation. The chapter on analytical methods used in studying of degradative and stabilization processes helps in establishing system of checking results of stabilization with different stabilizing systems. Stabilization and stabilizers are discussed in full detail in the most important chapter of this book. The final chapter contains information on the effects of PVC and its additives on health, safety and environment.
This book contains analysis of all essential papers and patents published until recently on the above subject. It either locates the answers to relevant questions and offers solutions or gives references in which such answers can be found.
PVC Degradation and Stabilization is must to have for chemists, engineers, scientists, university teachers and students, designers, material scientists, environmental chemists, and lawyers who work with polyvinyl chloride and its additives or have any interest in these products. This book is the one authoritative source on the subject.
- A practical and up-to-date reference guide for engineers and scientists designing with PVC
- Covers thermal, UV, gamma radiation, chemical, and other forms of degradation
- Includes a critical discussion of the sustainability issues faced by PVC and its additives, as well as health and safety concerns
Plastics engineers, product designers, materials scientists. Core sectors – construction, consumer goods (eg toys, cosmetics), automotive/aerospace
