Pigments are insoluble and must be adequately dispersed in the plastic to achieve a uniform color. This can be a problem in very thin moldings where particle agglomerates are highly visible. Dyes are soluble in plastics and give a more transparent finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHealth, safety, and environmental issues have brought about changes in the marketplace as manufacturers strive to meet national and international regulations. Factors to consider in colorant selection include the presence of heavy metal compounds, migration of colorants into food or packaged goods (contamination issues), toxicity in the fire, etc. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many functional considerations when selecting colorants. For example, many plastics are processed at very high temperatures and shear, and products are exposed to heat and light. The colorants must tolerate these conditions to function adequately. The basic pigments and dyes used to achieve different color effects at different performance levels are described in this review. The economics of different colorant types are outlined. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere have been developments across the color spectrum and in the field of special effects. Manufacturers are looking at ways to eliminate cadmium and lead pigments and to improve existing products, for example by coating pigment particles to improve compatibility with plastics and aid dispersion.

Korver \u003cbr\u003eISBN 0-8155-1449-2 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages:442, Figures: 113, Tables: 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSummary\u003c\/h5\u003e\nThe purpose of this publication is to make readers aware of the explosion danger that may exist when they are involved in the use of flammable gases and liquids that are stored, processed, or transported in facilities with electrical wiring and equipment. Compliance with the electrical power recommendations in here will essentially provide a safe environment, which is a fundamental prerequisite in controlling injuries and damage to properties.\u003cbr\u003eOne intent of this publication is to provide an in-depth understanding of the factors that influence the classification of a hazardous location. One factor, in combination with one or more other factors, will have an impact on the level of danger and its hazardous boundaries. These factors and their influences are explained in detail in this publication, and once their impact is understood, the classification of a hazardous location becomes a straightforward procedure. The purpose of classification of a hazardous location is to provide safety for personnel and equipment. Another intent of this book is to achieve an electrical installation that will provide an acceptable level of safety for personnel and equipment at the lowest possible cost. To accomplish this, it is necessary to analyze in detail the environmental conditions of the location and the characteristics of the source of hazard.\u003cbr\u003eThe engineer who is involved in preparing the area classification must understand all of the details that will impact on his decision to classify the area Division 1, Division 2, or non-hazardous. Without a knowledge of the environmental conditions and the characteristics of the source of hazard, he, most certainly, will give the location a safety level much too high, which is not economically justifiable, or a level too low, which is unsafe. It is this approach that must be avoided.\u003cbr\u003eIn nine out often cases, a hazardous location is classified much too conservatively. The reasons for this conservative approach are a lack of knowledge and a misunderstanding of the actual concept of safety and danger. In the majority of cases, hazardous areas are classified Division I when the location could have been classified Division 2, and areas which are classified Division 2 could have been classified non-hazardous. In other cases, the location is classified non-hazardous when it should have been classified Division 1 or Division 2. It must be kept in mind that a location classified Division 1 requires explosion-proof equipment, which ranges in price from two to four times the cost of general-purpose electrical equipment, some of which are allowed in Division 2 locations. Therefore, it is important to strive to achieve a classification of a lower yet acceptable level of safety, which is commensurate with an acceptable risk and reduces the cost of electrical installations.\u003cbr\u003eTo establish such a point, it is necessary to evaluate the characteristics of the flammable products, along with the conditions under which the product must operate. By listing this information on appropriate forms, the evaluation of the degree of hazard and its boundaries can be correctly performed, and, as a result, the proper electrical equipment can be selected under the provisions of the NEC.\u003cbr\u003eA total of 126 tables and illustrations have been developed to assist the engineer in establishing the degree of danger and its boundaries for locations with flammable products.\u003cbr\u003eThis publication is divided into three parts with an appendix. Part I discusses the flammable and combustible principles of hazardous products and other pertinent information associated with an area classification.

Compliance with the electrical power recommendations in here will essentially provide a safe environment, which is a fundamental prerequisite in controlling injuries and damage to properties.\u003cbr\u003eOne intent of this publication is to provide an in-depth understanding of the factors that influence the classification of a hazardous location. One factor, in combination with one or more other factors, will have an impact on the level of danger and its hazardous boundaries. These factors and their influences are explained in detail in this publication, and once their impact is understood, the classification of a hazardous location becomes a straightforward procedure. The purpose of classification of a hazardous location is to provide safety for personnel and equipment. Another intent of this book is to achieve an electrical installation that will provide an acceptable level of safety for personnel and equipment at the lowest possible cost. To accomplish this, it is necessary to analyze in detail the environmental conditions of the location and the characteristics of the source of hazard.\u003cbr\u003eThe engineer who is involved in preparing the area classification must understand all of the details that will impact on his decision to classify the area Division 1, Division 2, or non-hazardous. Without a knowledge of the environmental conditions and the characteristics of the source of hazard, he, most certainly, will give the location a safety level much too high, which is not economically justifiable, or a level too low, which is unsafe. It is this approach that must be avoided.\u003cbr\u003eIn nine out often cases, a hazardous location is classified much too conservatively. The reasons for this conservative approach are a lack of knowledge and a misunderstanding of the actual concept of safety and danger. In the majority of cases, hazardous areas are classified Division I when the location could have been classified Division 2, and areas which are classified Division 2 could have been classified non-hazardous. In other cases, the location is classified non-hazardous when it should have been classified Division 1 or Division 2. It must be kept in mind that a location classified Division 1 requires explosion-proof equipment, which ranges in price from two to four times the cost of general-purpose electrical equipment, some of which are allowed in Division 2 locations. Therefore, it is important to strive to achieve a classification of a lower yet acceptable level of safety, which is commensurate with an acceptable risk and reduces the cost of electrical installations.\u003cbr\u003eTo establish such a point, it is necessary to evaluate the characteristics of the flammable products, along with the conditions under which the product must operate. By listing this information on appropriate forms, the evaluation of the degree of hazard and its boundaries can be correctly performed, and, as a result, the proper electrical equipment can be selected under the provisions of the NEC.\u003cbr\u003eA total of 126 tables and illustrations have been developed to assist the engineer in establishing the degree of danger and its boundaries for locations with flammable products.\u003cbr\u003eThis publication is divided into three parts with an appendix. Part I discusses the flammable and combustible principles of hazardous products and other pertinent information associated with an area classification. Part 2 discusses the environmental conditions in hazardous locations. A number of specific illustrations are included in this section. Part 3 discusses the application procedure for classifying NEC Class I locations. Examples are also included in this section. Following these sections is an appendix listing properties of flammable liquids, gases, and vapors.\u003cbr\u003eThe application of the information explained herein is mainly for flammable liquids, vapors, and gases that are processed, handled, stored, and\/or transported.

It provides a complete set of tables, classifications, and information related to a wide variety of commercially used additives for polymers and rubbers. The book details the characteristics of hundreds of additives that can improve performance in terms of physical properties, stability, and storage life; provide colorants; reduce cost; improve processing or assembly; extend shelf life; enhance purity and minimize environmental impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymer additives are at the center of the development of new products, and the majority of existing technologies cannot be implemented without them. Future forecasts predict the further expansion of their production as follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The plastic additives market is projected to be worth USD 65.85 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period (2021-2028). \u003cbr\u003e The plasticizer market will grow by 6% from the year 2022-2030, ending with global production of USD 29.77 billion. \u003cbr\u003e The global polymer market was valued at US$533.6 billion in 2019 and is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2020–2030), reaching $838.5 billion by 2030. This is majorly attributed to the increasing demand for the product in the packaging, automotive, and electronics industries. \u003cbr\u003eThe growth in polymer additives will be much faster than the growth of the population for this period, which is predicted to be ~0.9% per year. Also, the production of additives is expected to increase faster than the production of polymers, which by itself is a good testimony to the fact that the emphasis on additives gradually increased. That is not surprising since they, at small doses, influence many properties beyond the reach of polymers alone. It should also be noticed that less than 8% expenditure on additives (as compared with the cost of polymers) makes such a big difference in their performance. Usually, the incorporation of additives increases physicomechanical and chemical properties by tens (and sometimes hundreds) of percent. \u003cbr\u003eExisting handbooks on polymer additives usually concentrate on slightly more than 10 major additives, whereas the list is substantially longer, including 88 groups of additives used by all segments of the polymer and rubber industries. \u003cbr\u003eAll the above groups of additives are included in the Encyclopedia of Polymer and Rubber Additives. Each group of additives is discussed in a systematic manner to facilitate information retrieval and comparison. The contents of information on each group of additives have the following outline.\u003cbr\u003eTypical chemical structures\u003cbr\u003eTable including Name(s); CAS#; EC#; Origin; Main function(s); Outstanding features; Recommended for polymers; Recommended for products; Incorporation technology; Amounts required. The table includes the essential data on the range of products that belong to the group. This is followed by 3 subchapters entitled.\u003cbr\u003e Mechanism(s) of action, suitable features, and modifications\u003cbr\u003e Influences and interferences in complex formulations\u003cbr\u003e Evidence of performance from experimental studies.\u003cbr\u003eThe subchapters, having contents based on the most recent scientific research data and patent literature, illustrate and emphasize important features, performance characteristics, and benefits of the use of each group of additives, as well as provide a list of significant references. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Encyclopedia of Polymer and Rubber Additives is the most comprehensive reference to the date on polymer engineering science. The book documents how polymer properties and performance can be improved through the use of additives, which are substances added during polymer production or processing to alter the physical and chemical properties of plastic products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn today’s environment, the manufacturer of additives not only must provide a product that works and gives competitive benefits, but the product should not be harmful to people and the environment, and the manufacture of additives should not deplete existing resources; therefore, it should contain as much as possible of renewable content. With this in mind, a separate publication has been created, namely Databook of the Most Important Polymer and Rubber Additives, which contains technical data on essential additives used today. This book concentrates on providing data in tabular form for chemical compounds that prevail in the market. Information is organized into five sections. Three sections contain data important for the application of additives, such as the composition of additives, their physicomechanical properties, and many use and application data. The other two sections permit evaluation of the potential toxicity of products and their effect on the environment. \u003cbr\u003eBoth books supplement each other, and they were designed to be complementary sources of information on polymer additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth books (Encyclopedia and Databook) are must-have references for public technical libraries, governmental bodies involved with rubber and plastics, university and departmental chemical libraries, and companies that have any involvement with plastics or rubber. It should be noticed from the Table of Contents below that both books contain an unprecedented number of groups of additives and are discussed in depth, never published before in any form of publication.

invaluable reference for chemists, engineers, and other professionals. It provides a complete set of tables, classifications, and information related to a wide variety of commercially used additives for polymers and rubbers. The book details the characteristics of hundreds of additives that can improve performance in terms of physical properties, stability, and storage life; provide colorants; reduce cost; improve processing or assembly; extend shelf life; enhance purity and minimize environmental impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymer additives are at the center of the development of new products, and the majority of existing technologies cannot be implemented without them. Future forecasts predict the further expansion of their production as follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The plastic additives market is projected to be worth USD 65.85 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period (2021-2028). \u003cbr\u003e The plasticizer market will grow by 6% from the year 2022-2030, ending with global production of USD 29.77 billion. \u003cbr\u003e The global polymer market was valued at US$533.6 billion in 2019 and is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2020–2030), reaching $838.5 billion by 2030. This is majorly attributed to the increasing demand for the product in the packaging, automotive, and electronics industries. \u003cbr\u003eThe growth in polymer additives will be much faster than the growth of the population for this period, which is predicted to be ~0.9% per year. Also, the production of additives is expected to increase faster than the production of polymers, which by itself is a good testimony to the fact that the emphasis on additives gradually increased. That is not surprising since they, at small doses, influence many properties beyond the reach of polymers alone. It should also be noticed that less than 8% expenditure on additives (as compared with the cost of polymers) makes such a big difference in their performance. Usually, the incorporation of additives increases physicomechanical and chemical properties by tens (and sometimes hundreds) of percent. \u003cbr\u003eExisting handbooks on polymer additives usually concentrate on slightly more than 10 major additives, whereas the list is substantially longer, including 88 groups of additives used by all segments of the polymer and rubber industries. \u003cbr\u003eAll the above groups of additives are included in the Encyclopedia of Polymer and Rubber Additives. Each group of additives is discussed in a systematic manner to facilitate information retrieval and comparison. The contents of information on each group of additives have the following outline.\u003cbr\u003eTypical chemical structures\u003cbr\u003eTable including Name(s); CAS#; EC#; Origin; Main function(s); Outstanding features; Recommended for polymers; Recommended for products; Incorporation technology; Amounts required. The table includes the essential data on the range of products that belong to the group. This is followed by 3 subchapters entitled.\u003cbr\u003e Mechanism(s) of action, suitable features, and modifications\u003cbr\u003e Influences and interferences in complex formulations\u003cbr\u003e Evidence of performance from experimental studies.\u003cbr\u003eThe subchapters, having contents based on the most recent scientific research data and patent literature, illustrate and emphasize important features, performance characteristics, and benefits of the use of each group of additives, as well as provide a list of significant references. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Encyclopedia of Polymer and Rubber Additives is the most comprehensive reference to the date on polymer engineering science. The book documents how polymer properties and performance can be improved through the use of additives, which are substances added during polymer production or processing to alter the physical and chemical properties of plastic products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn today’s environment, the manufacturer of additives not only must provide a product that works and gives competitive benefits, but the product should not be harmful to people and the environment, and the manufacture of additives should not deplete existing resources; therefore, it should contain as much as possible of renewable content. With this in mind, a separate publication has been created, namely Databook of the Most Important Polymer and Rubber Additives, which contains technical data on essential additives used today. This book concentrates on providing data in tabular form for chemical compounds that prevail in the market. Information is organized into five sections. Three sections contain data important for the application of additives, such as the composition of additives, their physicomechanical properties, and many use and application data. The other two sections permit evaluation of the potential toxicity of products and their effect on the environment. \u003cbr\u003eBoth books supplement each other, and they were designed to be complementary sources of information on polymer additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth books (Encyclopedia and Databook) are must-have references for public technical libraries, governmental bodies involved with rubber and plastics, university and departmental chemical libraries, and companies that have any involvement with plastics or rubber. It should be noticed from the Table of Contents below that both books contain an unprecedented number of groups of additives and are discussed in depth, never published before in any form of publication. In addition, the majority of groups contain The Encyclopedia of Polymer and Rubber Additives references to monographic sources which contain even more in-depth knowledge of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eAccelerators\u003cbr\u003eAcid scavengers\u003cbr\u003eAdhesion promoters\u003cbr\u003eAir-release agents\u003cbr\u003eAntibacterial additives\u003cbr\u003eAntiblocking additives\u003cbr\u003eAnticaking agents\u003cbr\u003eAnticratering additives\u003cbr\u003eAntidegradants\u003cbr\u003eAntifriction additives\u003cbr\u003eAntifoaming agents\u003cbr\u003eAntifogging agents\u003cbr\u003eAntifreezing additives\u003cbr\u003eAntigassing additives\u003cbr\u003eAntigelling additives\u003cbr\u003eAntisettling additives\u003cbr\u003eAntistatics\u003cbr\u003eAntitack additives\u003cbr\u003eBiocides\u003cbr\u003eCatalysts\u003cbr\u003eCarbon black\u003cbr\u003eClarifying agents\u003cbr\u003eCoalescents\u003cbr\u003eCompatibilizers\u003cbr\u003eCrosslinkers\u003cbr\u003eCuratives\u003cbr\u003eDefoaming agents\u003cbr\u003eDispersing agents\u003cbr\u003eFactice\u003cbr\u003eFillers\u003cbr\u003e General purpose\u003cbr\u003e 2D\u003cbr\u003e Conductive\u003cbr\u003e Dielectric\u003cbr\u003e EMI shielding\u003cbr\u003e Fibers\u003cbr\u003e High density\u003cbr\u003e Insulating\u003cbr\u003e Magnetic\u003cbr\u003e Magnetodielectric\u003cbr\u003e Microwave absorption\u003cbr\u003e Nanoparticles\u003cbr\u003e Osteoconductive\u003cbr\u003e Piezoelectric\u003cbr\u003e Reinforcement\u003cbr\u003e Superlight\u003cbr\u003eFlame retardants\u003cbr\u003eFlattening additives\u003cbr\u003eFlexibilizers\u003cbr\u003eFoaming and blowing agents\u003cbr\u003eGloss enhancing additives\u003cbr\u003eHDT\/Vicat enhancers\u003cbr\u003eHydrolysis stabilizers\u003cbr\u003eIdentification additives\u003cbr\u003eImpact modifiers\u003cbr\u003eInsect repellents\u003cbr\u003eLeveling additives\u003cbr\u003eMoisture scavengers\u003cbr\u003eNucleating agents\u003cbr\u003eOptical brighteners\u003cbr\u003epH modifiers\u003cbr\u003ePigments\u003cbr\u003ePlasticizers\u003cbr\u003ePolymerization initiators\/inhibition catalysts\u003cbr\u003ePreservatives\u003cbr\u003eProcessing aids\u003cbr\u003eRelease additives\u003cbr\u003eRheological additives\u003cbr\u003e Antisag agents\u003cbr\u003e Inorganic thickeners\u003cbr\u003e Melt flow modifiers\u003cbr\u003e Lubricants\u003cbr\u003e Organic thickeners\u003cbr\u003eScratch and mar improvement additives\u003cbr\u003eSlip additives\u003cbr\u003eSolvents\u003cbr\u003eStabilizers\u003cbr\u003e Antioxidants\u003cbr\u003e Chelating agents (metal deactivators)\u003cbr\u003e HALS\u003cbr\u003e Phosphites\u003cbr\u003e Thermal stabilizers\u003cbr\u003e Acid scavengers\u003cbr\u003e Antiozonants\u003cbr\u003e Epoxidized compounds\u003cbr\u003e Multiketones\u003cbr\u003e Quenchers\u003cbr\u003e UV absorbers\u003cbr\u003eTackifiers\u003cbr\u003eTitanium dioxide\u003cbr\u003eVulcanizing agents\u003cbr\u003eWater-repelling agents\u003cbr\u003eWetting agents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

This lack of control makes it difficult to separate and understand the individual effects of different degradants on the material. Moreover, exposure sites may be in locations that do not fully represent real-life performance (e.g., no exposure to certain degradants found in urban environments). The resulting sample condition after exposure depends on the combined effects of multiple degradants, and it is hard to repeat or precisely measure all these effects. Also, in many cases, samples are too contaminated to be studied by instrumental methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChallenges in Laboratory Weathering Studies: \u003c\/strong\u003eWeathering studies conducted in laboratory equipment often control specific factors such as UV energy, humidity, artificial rain, and temperature during exposure. However, the studied samples are still exposed to a combination of degradants, making it challenging to isolate the partial effects of individual degradants. The typical approach involves grading damage vs. duration and analyzing composition changes vs. duration of exposure, which does not provide a complete understanding of the mechanisms and interactions among different degradants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportance of Understanding Degradation Mechanisms: \u003c\/strong\u003eTo effectively use different polymeric materials, it is essential to understand the specific mechanisms caused by different degradants. This understanding permits the selection of the most resistant materials for specific applications and the development of effective stabilization strategies to protect materials against degradation. Degradation and stabilization should be described through chemical equations to identify the specific reactions involved and their sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEncyclopedia's Approach: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe book aims to compile research results for the most important and commonly used polymers. The focus is on identifying the unitary degradative chemical reactions, including the fate of products resulting from primary degradation, which can influence further degradation mechanisms and rates. Based on these data, the book proposes potential mechanisms of reactions (chemical descriptions of the sequence of events) for each degradation mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransition to Knowledge-Based Utilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e While complete answers may be difficult to provide, the book recognizes the need to start with available data.

Here are the key points:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimitations of Typical Weathering Studies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conventional weathering studies often take place in natural outdoor environments where weathering parameters are not controlled. This lack of control makes it difficult to separate and understand the individual effects of different degradants on the material. Moreover, exposure sites may be in locations that do not fully represent real-life performance (e.g., no exposure to certain degradants found in urban environments). The resulting sample condition after exposure depends on the combined effects of multiple degradants, and it is hard to repeat or precisely measure all these effects. Also, in many cases, samples are too contaminated to be studied by instrumental methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChallenges in Laboratory Weathering Studies: \u003c\/strong\u003eWeathering studies conducted in laboratory equipment often control specific factors such as UV energy, humidity, artificial rain, and temperature during exposure. However, the studied samples are still exposed to a combination of degradants, making it challenging to isolate the partial effects of individual degradants. The typical approach involves grading damage vs. duration and analyzing composition changes vs. duration of exposure, which does not provide a complete understanding of the mechanisms and interactions among different degradants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportance of Understanding Degradation Mechanisms: \u003c\/strong\u003eTo effectively use different polymeric materials, it is essential to understand the specific mechanisms caused by different degradants. This understanding permits the selection of the most resistant materials for specific applications and the development of effective stabilization strategies to protect materials against degradation. Degradation and stabilization should be described through chemical equations to identify the specific reactions involved and their sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEncyclopedia's Approach: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe book aims to compile research results for the most important and commonly used polymers. The focus is on identifying the unitary degradative chemical reactions, including the fate of products resulting from primary degradation, which can influence further degradation mechanisms and rates. Based on these data, the book proposes potential mechanisms of reactions (chemical descriptions of the sequence of events) for each degradation mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransition to Knowledge-Based Utilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e While complete answers may be difficult to provide, the book recognizes the need to start with available data. By shifting from comparative methods to knowledge-based utilization of existing resources, the book aims to facilitate more effective prevention of waste and environmental pollution caused by material failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn summary, the book aims to provide a more comprehensive and mechanistic understanding of material degradation caused by various degradants, helping researchers and professionals select suitable materials and develop effective strategies to prevent degradation and environmental pollution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction.

They are valued, amongst other things, for their temperature resistance, strength, dimensional stability and chemical resistance in many demanding applications. Engineering and high performance polymers experienced high growth during the second half of the 1990s because of high demand for IT\/telecom products and automotive components. Product and applications development and substitution of traditional materials were also key drivers of growth. However, during the last two years consumption fell dramatically due to the downturn in key end user markets and lower world economic activity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report discusses the different types of engineering and high performance polymers, their key performance properties, applications and the trends in material developments. The principal polymer types covered are: polyamide, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer, polyetheretherketone, polyoxymethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polyetherimide, polyphenylene oxide, polysulfone and liquid crystal polymer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive end-use markets are analyzed: automotive, electrical \u0026amp; electronics, industrial, consumer and ‘other markets’, including medical. Each end-use section includes a detailed examination of consumption trends by polymer type for major world regions, current applications, plus market and technology developments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe major world suppliers of engineering and high performance polymers, production capacities, geographic scope and corporate developments, are also examined in

They are valued, amongst other things, for their temperature resistance, strength, dimensional stability and chemical resistance in many demanding applications. Engineering and high performance polymers experienced high growth during the second half of the 1990s because of high demand for IT\/telecom products and automotive components. Product and applications development and substitution of traditional materials were also key drivers of growth. However, during the last two years consumption fell dramatically due to the downturn in key end user markets and lower world economic activity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report discusses the different types of engineering and high performance polymers, their key performance properties, applications and the trends in material developments. The principal polymer types covered are: polyamide, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer, polyetheretherketone, polyoxymethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polyetherimide, polyphenylene oxide, polysulfone and liquid crystal polymer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive end-use markets are analyzed: automotive, electrical \u0026amp; electronics, industrial, consumer and ‘other markets’, including medical. Each end-use section includes a detailed examination of consumption trends by polymer type for major world regions, current applications, plus market and technology developments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe major world suppliers of engineering and high performance polymers, production capacities, geographic scope and corporate developments, are also examined in
