All types of modern instrumentation are covered including those used in general quality control, research analysis, process monitoring and for determining the mechanical, electrical, thermal and optical characteristics. Aspects such as automated analysis and computerised control of instruments are also included. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book covers not only instrumentation for the determination of metals, non metals, functional groups, polymer structural analysis and end-groups in the main types of polymers now in use commercially, but also the analysis of minor non-polymeric components of the polymer formulation, whether they be deliberately added, such as processing additives, or whether they occur adventitiously, such as residual volatiles and monomers and water. Fingerprinting techniques for the rapid identification of polymers and methods for the examination of polymer surfaces and polymer defects are also discussed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book gives an up-to-date and thorough exposition of the present state-of-the-art of the theory and availability of instrumentation needed to effect chemical and physical analysis of polymers. Over 1,800 references are included. The book should be of great interest to all those who are engaged in the examination of polymers in industry, university research establishments, and general education. The book is intended for all staff who are concerned with instrumentation in the polymer laboratory, including laboratory designers, work planners, chemists, engineers, chemical engineers and those concerned with the implementation of specifications and process control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPreface \u003cbr\u003e1 Determination of

for some 15 years. In the early fifties, he was heavily engaged in the development of methods of analysis for low-pressure polyolefins produced by the Ziegler-Natta route, including work on high-density polyethylene and polypropylene. He was responsible for the development of methods of analysis of the organoaluminum catalysts used for the synthesis of these polymers. He was also responsible for the development of thin-layer chromatography for the determination of various types of additives in polymers and did pioneering work on the use of TLC to separate polymer additives and to examine the separated additives by infrared and mass spectrometry. He retired in 1988 and has since been engaged as a consultant in the field of analytical chemistry and has written extensively on this subject, with some 20 books published.","published_at":"2017-06-22T21:14:07-04:00","created_at":"2017-06-22T21:14:07-04:00","vendor":"Chemtec Publishing","type":"Book","tags":["2006","autosamplers","book","bound","carbon","destructive","determination","elastomers","emission","flammability","furnace","general","graphite","halogen","ion chromatography","metals","microprocessors","nitrogen","optical","physical","polarography","polymer","polymers","rubbers","spectrometry","sulfur","testing","UV spectroscopy","vapour","voltammetry","X-ray","Zeeman"],"price":29700,"price_min":29700,"price_max":29700,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43378396420,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Polymer Reference Book","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":29700,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":null,"inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"978-1-85957-492-8","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-492-8.jpg?v=1499952982"],"featured_image":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-492-8.jpg?v=1499952982","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":358550601821,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":450,"width":345,"src":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-492-8.jpg?v=1499952982"},"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":450,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-492-8.jpg?v=1499952982","width":345}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\nAuthor: T.R.

All types of modern instrumentation are covered including those used in general quality control, research analysis, process monitoring and for determining the mechanical, electrical, thermal and optical characteristics. Aspects such as automated analysis and computerised control of instruments are also included. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book covers not only instrumentation for the determination of metals, non metals, functional groups, polymer structural analysis and end-groups in the main types of polymers now in use commercially, but also the analysis of minor non-polymeric components of the polymer formulation, whether they be deliberately added, such as processing additives, or whether they occur adventitiously, such as residual volatiles and monomers and water. Fingerprinting techniques for the rapid identification of polymers and methods for the examination of polymer surfaces and polymer defects are also discussed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book gives an up-to-date and thorough exposition of the present state-of-the-art of the theory and availability of instrumentation needed to effect chemical and physical analysis of polymers. Over 1,800 references are included. The book should be of great interest to all those who are engaged in the examination of polymers in industry, university research establishments, and general education. The book is intended for all staff who are concerned with instrumentation in the polymer laboratory, including laboratory designers, work planners, chemists, engineers, chemical engineers and those concerned with the implementation of specifications and process control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPreface \u003cbr\u003e1 Determination of

Foods are also increasingly being shipped in bulk, in plastic containers. Additionally, there is the area of use of plastics utensils, containers, and processing equipment in the home and during a bulk preparation of food in producing factories, at home and in restaurants and canteens. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus it is likely that some transfer of polymer additives will occur - adventitious impurities such as monomers, oligomers, catalyst remnants and residual polymerization solvents and low molecular weight polymer fractions - from the plastic into the packaged material with the consequent risk of a toxic hazard to the consumer. The actual hazard arising to the consumer from any extractable material is a function of two properties, namely, the intrinsic toxicity of the extracted material as evaluated in animal feeding trials (not dealt with in this book) and the amount of material extracted from the polymer which enters the packed commodity under service conditions, i.e., during packaging operations and during the shelf life of the packaged commodity at the time of the consumption. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book covers all aspects of the migration of additives into food and gives detailed information on the analytical determination of the additives in various plastics. It will be of interest to those engaged in the implementation of packaging legislation, including management, analytical chemists and the manufacturers of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and also scientific and toxicologists in the packaging industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Additive Migration from Plastics into Packaged Commodities \u003cbr\u003e2 Types of Polymers Used in Commodity Packaging \u003cbr\u003e3 Non-Polymeric Components of Plastics \u003cbr\u003e4 Determination of Antioxidants \u003cbr\u003e5 Determination of Ultraviolet Stabilisers in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e6 Determination of Plasticisers in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e7 Determination of Organotin Thermal Stabilisers in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e8 Determination of Organic Sulfur Compounds in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e9 Determination of Polydimethyl Siloxanes in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e10 Determination of Lubricants in Extraction Liquids \u003cbr\u003e11 Determination of Monomers and Oligomers in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e12 Analysis of Polymer Extraction Liquids Containing More Than One Migrant \u003cbr\u003e13 Determination of Additives and their Breakdown Products in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e14 Additive Migration Theory \u003cbr\u003e15 Gas Barrier Properties of Food Packaging Plastic Films \u003cbr\u003e16 Legislative Aspects of the Use of Additives in Packaging Plastics \u003cbr\u003e17 Direct Determination of Migrants from Polymers into Foodstuffs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nRoy Crompton was Head of the polymer analysis research department of a major international polymer producer for some 15 years.

Additionally, there is the area of use of plastics utensils, containers, and processing equipment in the home and during a bulk preparation of food in producing factories, at home and in restaurants and canteens. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus it is likely that some transfer of polymer additives will occur - adventitious impurities such as monomers, oligomers, catalyst remnants and residual polymerization solvents and low molecular weight polymer fractions - from the plastic into the packaged material with the consequent risk of a toxic hazard to the consumer. The actual hazard arising to the consumer from any extractable material is a function of two properties, namely, the intrinsic toxicity of the extracted material as evaluated in animal feeding trials (not dealt with in this book) and the amount of material extracted from the polymer which enters the packed commodity under service conditions, i.e., during packaging operations and during the shelf life of the packaged commodity at the time of the consumption. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book covers all aspects of the migration of additives into food and gives detailed information on the analytical determination of the additives in various plastics. It will be of interest to those engaged in the implementation of packaging legislation, including management, analytical chemists and the manufacturers of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and also scientific and toxicologists in the packaging industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Additive Migration from Plastics into Packaged Commodities \u003cbr\u003e2 Types of Polymers Used in Commodity Packaging \u003cbr\u003e3 Non-Polymeric Components of Plastics \u003cbr\u003e4 Determination of Antioxidants \u003cbr\u003e5 Determination of Ultraviolet Stabilisers in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e6 Determination of Plasticisers in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e7 Determination of Organotin Thermal Stabilisers in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e8 Determination of Organic Sulfur Compounds in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e9 Determination of Polydimethyl Siloxanes in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e10 Determination of Lubricants in Extraction Liquids \u003cbr\u003e11 Determination of Monomers and Oligomers in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e12 Analysis of Polymer Extraction Liquids Containing More Than One Migrant \u003cbr\u003e13 Determination of Additives and their Breakdown Products in Extractants \u003cbr\u003e14 Additive Migration Theory \u003cbr\u003e15 Gas Barrier Properties of Food Packaging Plastic Films \u003cbr\u003e16 Legislative Aspects of the Use of Additives in Packaging Plastics \u003cbr\u003e17 Direct Determination of Migrants from Polymers into Foodstuffs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\nRoy Crompton was Head of the polymer analysis research department of a major international polymer producer for some 15 years.

This review of rubber product failure outlines and illustrates the common causes of failure while addressing ways of avoiding it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere has been increasing pressure to improve performance so that rubbers can be used at higher temperatures and in harsher environments. For example, the under-the-bonnet temperature has increased in some vehicles and new medical devices require longer lifetimes in potentially degrading biological fluids. The expectations of tyre performance, in particular, are increasing, and retreads have been in the spotlight for failures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe definition of failure depends on the application. For example, a racing car engine seal that lasts for one race may be acceptable, but in a normal car, a lifespan of 10 years is more reasonable. If appearance is critical as in surface coatings and paints, then discolouration is a failure, whilst in seals, leakage is not acceptable. Each rubber product must be fit for the use specified by the consumer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFailure analysis is critical to product improvement. The problem is obvious to see, for example, a hole in a hot water bottle, but the cause of the problem can be much harder to find. It can range from a design fault to poor material selection, to processing problems, to manufacturing errors such as poor dimensional tolerances, to poor installation, product abuse, and unexpected service conditions. The rubber technologist must become a detective, gathering evidence, understanding the material type and using deductive reasoning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTesting and analysis of failed materials and components add to the information available for failure analysis. For example, stored aged tyres appeared superficially to be alright for use, but on drum testing small cracks grew more quickly than in new tyres leading to rapid failure in service. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuality control procedures such as product inspection, testing, and material quality checks can help to reach 100% reliability. In critical applications such as electricians' gloves for high voltage working, gloves are inspected before each use, while engine seals may be routinely replaced before the expected lifetime to avoid problems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is customary to hide failures, thus the number of specific cases published in the literature is not high. However, several reviews have been written on specific products and references can be found at the end of this review. Around 400 abstracts from papers in the Polymer Library are included with an index. Subjects covered include tyre wear and failure, seals, engine components, rubber bonding failure, rubber failure due to chloramine in water, tank treads, gloves and condoms, medical devices and EPDM roofing membranes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1.

Companies such as Nanocor and Honeywell are already commercially exploiting nanocomposite materials. A small amount of nanodispersed filler leads to an improvement in material properties, such as modulus, strength, heat resistance, flame retardancy, and lowered gas permeability. Adding clay nanofillers to biodegradable polymers has also been shown to enhance compostability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe enhancement of material properties has been linked to the interfacial interaction between the polymer matrix and the organically modified layered silicate filler structure. The filler particles provide a very high surface area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontmorillonite, hectorite, and saponite are the most commonly used layered silicates. For a nanocomposite to be formed successfully, the mineral must disperse into separate layers. The surface chemistry is also important - ion exchange reactions with cations (commonly alkyl ammonium or alkyl phosphonium cations) allow the silicate to be compatibilised with the polymer matrix. The strong interactions between the two materials lead to dispersion at the nanometre level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymer\/layered silicate nanocomposites are prepared by a variety of routes. One of the first materials, a Nylon 6 nanocomposite, was prepared by in situ polymerisation of -caprolactam in a dispersion of montmorillonite. The silicate can be dispersed in a liquid monomer or a solution of monomer. It has also been possible to melt-mix polymers with layered silicates, avoiding the use of organic solvents. The latter method permits the use of conventional processing techniques such as injection moulding and extrusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNanocomposites have been formed with a wide variety of polymers including: epoxy, polyurethane, polyetherimide, poybenzoxazine, polypropylene, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polycaprolactone, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylidene fluoride, polybutadiene, copolymers and liquid crystalline polymers. Summaries of the work carried out on these different materials and references to these studies are included in this Rapra Review Report.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany studies have been carried out to characterise different nanocomposites. Techniques in use include wide-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProcessing techniques are critical in polymer manufacturing and this holds true for nanocomposites. Several processing methods and innovative techniques are discussed. For example, Nylon 6 clay nanocomposites have been electrospun from solution, which resulted in highly aligned clay particles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo other types of nanofiller are briefly described here. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles combine organic and inorganic segments with nanosized cage structures. Carbon nanotubes have also been examined as they offer unique mechanical and electrical properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts compiled from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading on this subject.

Companies such as Nanocor and Honeywell are already commercially exploiting nanocomposite materials. A small amount of nanodispersed filler leads to an improvement in material properties, such as modulus, strength, heat resistance, flame retardancy, and lowered gas permeability. Adding clay nanofillers to biodegradable polymers has also been shown to enhance compostability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe enhancement of material properties has been linked to the interfacial interaction between the polymer matrix and the organically modified layered silicate filler structure. The filler particles provide a very high surface area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontmorillonite, hectorite, and saponite are the most commonly used layered silicates. For a nanocomposite to be formed successfully, the mineral must disperse into separate layers. The surface chemistry is also important - ion exchange reactions with cations (commonly alkyl ammonium or alkyl phosphonium cations) allow the silicate to be compatibilised with the polymer matrix. The strong interactions between the two materials lead to dispersion at the nanometre level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymer\/layered silicate nanocomposites are prepared by a variety of routes. One of the first materials, a Nylon 6 nanocomposite, was prepared by in situ polymerisation of -caprolactam in a dispersion of montmorillonite. The silicate can be dispersed in a liquid monomer or a solution of monomer. It has also been possible to melt-mix polymers with layered silicates, avoiding the use of organic solvents. The latter method permits the use of conventional processing techniques such as injection moulding and extrusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNanocomposites have been formed with a wide variety of polymers including: epoxy, polyurethane, polyetherimide, poybenzoxazine, polypropylene, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polycaprolactone, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylidene fluoride, polybutadiene, copolymers and liquid crystalline polymers. Summaries of the work carried out on these different materials and references to these studies are included in this Rapra Review Report.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany studies have been carried out to characterise different nanocomposites. Techniques in use include wide-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProcessing techniques are critical in polymer manufacturing and this holds true for nanocomposites. Several processing methods and innovative techniques are discussed. For example, Nylon 6 clay nanocomposites have been electrospun from solution, which resulted in highly aligned clay particles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo other types of nanofiller are briefly described here. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles combine organic and inorganic segments with nanosized cage structures. Carbon nanotubes have also been examined as they offer unique mechanical and electrical properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts compiled from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading on this subject. A subject index and a company index are included.

He graduated from the University of Cambridge (MA) and the University of Manchester (PhD) and was awarded the DSc by the University of Cambridge in 1978. From 1940 he was the colloid chemist at the British Pottery Research Association; he then worked in the alginate industry, and his last War-related assignment was as a Research Assistant at Manchester University. After four years there as Assistant Lecturer he became a founder-member of the University College of North Staffordshire (later Keele University) in 1951There he stayed, retiring in 1985 from the Chair of Physical Chemistry; as Professor Emeritus he still enjoys the hospitality of his old Department. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Plesch has published three books and over 150 chemical papers, the latest appearing in February 2001.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2017-06-22T21:14:02-04:00","created_at":"2017-06-22T21:14:02-04:00","vendor":"Chemtec Publishing","type":"Book","tags":["1","2002","3-Dioxacycloalkanes","book","cationic polymerisations","cationoid","Cationoid Insertion","CIP","p-chemistry","polymer","polymer synthesis","polymerisation","polymerization","pseudocationic polymerisation","reaction mechanisms"],"price":26000,"price_min":26000,"price_max":26000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43378393668,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Developments in the Theory of Cationoid Polymerisations","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":26000,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":null,"inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"978-1-85957-270-2","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-270-2.jpg?v=1499213613"],"featured_image":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-270-2.jpg?v=1499213613","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":353974157405,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":450,"width":345,"src":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-270-2.jpg?v=1499213613"},"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":450,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-270-2.jpg?v=1499213613","width":345}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\nAuthor: Professor P.H.
