Plastic Additives - An Introduction to Stabilizers, Functional and Biobased Additives

Additives are essential components of plastic formulations providing maintenance and modification of polymer properties, performance and long-term use. The book provides information on the many different plastic ingredients and their purpose with market information, theoretical background such as mechanisms, state-of-the-art technical solutions, applications and examples, synergisms and antagonisms, risk and future trends covering plastics recycling and biobased products.
