Klappentext The selection of the right plasticizer is not straightforward because of the large number of different commercial plasticizers available! their varying properties and environmental and health issues. The information! data and practical guidance provided in this book helps engineers and scientists to select the right plasticizer for a wide range of different applications. This 2e includes updated and expanded data sections for a large number of commercial plasticizers as well as chapters with theoretical background. In this definitive reference work! the chemical and physical properties of the main types of plasticizer are explained! guidance is provided regarding the role of plasticizers in material improvement! plasticizer effects on physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials are explored and extensive data is provided! relating to 80 groups of products. The way the data is presented helps readers to find information quickly and helps them to reach optimal decisions regarding the selection and applications of plasticizers. Expert opinions on various aspects of plasticizers' effects are discussed! and information provided on the effects of plasticizers on process conditions! equipment maintenance! energy consumption! plasticizers¿ persistence in soil and water! and plasticizers¿ releases and their presence in the environment.
