It is by intention much more user-friendly than traditionally published works, which too-frequently assumes state of the art knowledge. Moreover, you can pick up this book and find a synthesis to suit your needs without digging through specialist papers or tracking someone down who eventually may or may not be able to help. Once you have used the recipe the book would then act as a reference guide for how to analyze these materials and what to look out for.\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e- An explanation of how to use the book and a brief overview of the areas that will be covered and how they apply to active science today.

It also looks at some of the broader issues surrounding successful waste management of plastics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition reflects the great strides that have been made to increase recycling rates worldwide in recent years. It considers the expansion of infrastructure in the UK to support plastic recycling and major achievements that have been made in gaining widespread public support and participation for recycling schemes; specifically the need to manage waste on an individual household level. Current issues surrounding council recycling of plastic bottles, and the practice of providing free plastic carrier bags by supermarkets, are also considered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiopolymers are expected to have a major impact on plastic markets in the future and therefore some of the issues of biodegradability versus recycling are expanded in this second edition, as is the wider context of life cycle analysis and legislation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features...\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, easy to understand text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten for a broad audience both within and outside the polymer industry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood introduction to plastic materials and technology with useful illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains recycling terminology, technology, and material quality issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp-to-date information on the plastics recycling infrastructure and recent developments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\nReviewed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the 1st Edition\u003cbr\u003e\"...This book has been well written and great care is taken to make the information accessible.

Outside the fields of expertise, generally little is known about either plastics or their recyclability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs in the successful first edition, this book provides straightforward information on plastic materials and technology, including the options for recycling plastics, with a special focus on mechanical recycling. It touches on all the major problems associated with recovering and recycling plastics at a level intended to be accessible to any reader with an interest in this field, whatever their background. It also looks at some of the broader issues surrounding successful waste management of plastics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition reflects the great strides that have been made to increase recycling rates worldwide in recent years. It considers the expansion of infrastructure in the UK to support plastic recycling and major achievements that have been made in gaining widespread public support and participation for recycling schemes; specifically the need to manage waste on an individual household level. Current issues surrounding council recycling of plastic bottles, and the practice of providing free plastic carrier bags by supermarkets, are also considered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiopolymers are expected to have a major impact on plastic markets in the future and therefore some of the issues of biodegradability versus recycling are expanded in this second edition, as is the wider context of life cycle analysis and legislation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features...\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, easy to understand text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten for a broad audience both within and outside the polymer industry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood introduction to plastic materials and technology with useful illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains recycling terminology, technology, and material quality issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp-to-date information on the plastics recycling infrastructure and recent developments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\nReviewed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the 1st Edition\u003cbr\u003e\"...This book has been well written and great care is taken to make the information accessible.

Singh, Huntsman Polyurethanes \u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-85957-321-1 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epages 104\n\u003ch5\u003eSummary\u003c\/h5\u003e\nThe polyurethane foam industry was radically shaken up by the discovery, in the mid 1980s, that certain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used as blowing agents can damage the environment. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) were developed as replacements, but they are now scheduled to be phased out as they also have ozone depleting potential. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlobal agreements have been introduced such as the Montreal Protocol and the Kyoto Protocol, which severely limit the use of many blowing agents. Global warming, ozone depleting potential, atmospheric lifetime and volatile organic compounds are the primary environmental issues with any blowing agent, and there are other factors to consider such as long-term breakdown products, halogen-free nature and acidification potential. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlowing agents must also satisfy the requirements of the marketplace including cost, flammability, compatibility with materials of construction, and safe and economic manufacturing processes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach application for foams has its own specifications, for example, low flammability, low toxicity, load bearing capability and cushioning effects. The long-term stability of the foam structure and the insulating properties of the foam are also key. The blowing agent used in polyurethane has a critical effect on these attributes. Insulation is affected by the gas phase thermal conductivity of the blowing agent. Stability is affected by several properties, such as the solubility of the agent in the polymer and the diffusion rate compared with air. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis review discusses the legal requirements and property specifications for blowing agents in different applications. It highlights the effects of changing blowing agents including the need for reformulation. Many new polyols, isocyanates and surfactants are being developed to overcome problems. Similarly, new equipment is being produced, for example, to cope with the flammability issues surrounding the use of hydrocarbon blowing agents, such as pentane. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach type of blowing agent is described.

Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) were developed as replacements, but they are now scheduled to be phased out as they also have ozone depleting potential. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlobal agreements have been introduced such as the Montreal Protocol and the Kyoto Protocol, which severely limit the use of many blowing agents. Global warming, ozone depleting potential, atmospheric lifetime and volatile organic compounds are the primary environmental issues with any blowing agent, and there are other factors to consider such as long-term breakdown products, halogen-free nature and acidification potential. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlowing agents must also satisfy the requirements of the marketplace including cost, flammability, compatibility with materials of construction, and safe and economic manufacturing processes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach application for foams has its own specifications, for example, low flammability, low toxicity, load bearing capability and cushioning effects. The long-term stability of the foam structure and the insulating properties of the foam are also key. The blowing agent used in polyurethane has a critical effect on these attributes. Insulation is affected by the gas phase thermal conductivity of the blowing agent. Stability is affected by several properties, such as the solubility of the agent in the polymer and the diffusion rate compared with air. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis review discusses the legal requirements and property specifications for blowing agents in different applications. It highlights the effects of changing blowing agents including the need for reformulation. Many new polyols, isocyanates and surfactants are being developed to overcome problems. Similarly, new equipment is being produced, for example, to cope with the flammability issues surrounding the use of hydrocarbon blowing agents, such as pentane. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach type of blowing agent is described.

{"id":11242215876,"title":"Flame Retardants for Plastics","handle":"978-1-85957-385-3","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\nAuthor: Dr. P.W. Dufton \u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-85957-385-3 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epages 148\n\u003ch5\u003eSummary\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPlastics materials are used in large volumes in major applications such as buildings, vehicles and electronic appliances. In each of these areas, fire safety is critical. Hence flame retardants have been developed to improve the properties of plastics under the different conditions of processing and use. Flame retardants can act in a variety of ways: by raising the ignition temperature, reducing the rate of burning, reducing flame spread and reducing smoke generation. There are various test methods in use to quantify the effectiveness of different flame retardants and these are described here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report examines the new developments from a range of flame retardant producers, both in products and product ranges. Besides brominated materials, mineral fillers such as alumina trihydrate hold a large market share, alongside phosphorus compounds, antimony trioxide, borates and intumescent materials. The latter function by forming an insulating char on the surface of the material. Nanocomposites are being tested as flame retardant materials - these and other new types of additive are described \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmental legislation has affected this sector of the additive industry, particularly in the field of halogenated flame retardants. Brominated flame retardants are widely used, effective materials in many resin formulations. Many pressure groups would like to see compounds containing halogens banned. There are concerns about the potential for release and bioaccumulation of toxic combustion products. However, the evidence shows that where the use of these materials has been reduced, for example in television sets in Europe, the number of fires and consequently deaths has increased. The issues are discussed in this report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, fire safety requirements for materials have increased. The uncertainty of the situation has lead to major suppliers of flame retardants branching out to secure their position in the market place. Thus larger companies have been purchasing suppliers of alternative types of retardants so that if legislation reduces their share of one sector of the market, they can reap the benefits from their alternative products. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarket data on flame retardants is limited, but the available figures from different sources are summarised here. For example, the market size for flame retardants in the USA is currently around half a million tones per year. There is extensive discussion of specific applications, i.e., automotive, building and construction, and electrical and electronic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis technical market report highlights the current work on flame retardants by different companies and for different resins; it describes the situation of flux in the marketplace with the new changes to legislation and gives data on the market size and possible future changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Background\u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Report\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Methodology \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.

Dr. P.W. Dufton \u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-85957-385-3 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epages 148\n\u003ch5\u003eSummary\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPlastics materials are used in large volumes in major applications such as buildings, vehicles and electronic appliances. In each of these areas, fire safety is critical. Hence flame retardants have been developed to improve the properties of plastics under the different conditions of processing and use. Flame retardants can act in a variety of ways: by raising the ignition temperature, reducing the rate of burning, reducing flame spread and reducing smoke generation. There are various test methods in use to quantify the effectiveness of different flame retardants and these are described here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report examines the new developments from a range of flame retardant producers, both in products and product ranges. Besides brominated materials, mineral fillers such as alumina trihydrate hold a large market share, alongside phosphorus compounds, antimony trioxide, borates and intumescent materials. The latter function by forming an insulating char on the surface of the material. Nanocomposites are being tested as flame retardant materials - these and other new types of additive are described \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmental legislation has affected this sector of the additive industry, particularly in the field of halogenated flame retardants. Brominated flame retardants are widely used, effective materials in many resin formulations. Many pressure groups would like to see compounds containing halogens banned. There are concerns about the potential for release and bioaccumulation of toxic combustion products. However, the evidence shows that where the use of these materials has been reduced, for example in television sets in Europe, the number of fires and consequently deaths has increased. The issues are discussed in this report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, fire safety requirements for materials have increased. The uncertainty of the situation has lead to major suppliers of flame retardants branching out to secure their position in the market place. Thus larger companies have been purchasing suppliers of alternative types of retardants so that if legislation reduces their share of one sector of the market, they can reap the benefits from their alternative products. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarket data on flame retardants is limited, but the available figures from different sources are summarised here. For example, the market size for flame retardants in the USA is currently around half a million tones per year. There is extensive discussion of specific applications, i.e., automotive, building and construction, and electrical and electronic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis technical market report highlights the current work on flame retardants by different companies and for different resins; it describes the situation of flux in the marketplace with the new changes to legislation and gives data on the market size and possible future changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Background\u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Report\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Methodology \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.

The objective of this project was to provide detailed information on the types and composition of silicone based products that are used in contact with food and to identify the extent to which the migration of specific constituents into food could occur. In addition to giving a summary of the findings of this extensive FSA project, this review report also provides an extensive overview of the principal types of silicone products that are used in food contact situations, from a description of their manufacture and chemical composition, to a detailed review of the potential migrants and their migration behaviour.

The objective of this project was to provide detailed information on the types and composition of silicone based products that are used in contact with food and to identify the extent to which the migration of specific constituents into food could occur. In addition to giving a summary of the findings of this extensive FSA project, this review report also provides an extensive overview of the principal types of silicone products that are used in food contact situations, from a description of their manufacture and chemical composition, to a detailed review of the potential migrants and their migration behaviour. It also covers the relevant national and EU food contact legislation and describes recent, food related technological developments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis report is the final one of a trilogy that has addressed food contact materials. It joins a report summarising the current situation with respect to the use of rubber products for food applications (Review Report No. 182) and one reviewing the use of coatings and inks (Review Report No. 186). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe review is accompanied by around 230 abstracts compiled from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading on this subject.

This is a very useful development, as since the publication of the second edition of this library in 1997, this type of ATR technique has acquired a high degree of popularity due to its many attributes, including speed and ease of use, the need for only small amounts of sample, and its virtually non-destructive nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the spectra in the collection have been collected and stored at a resolution of 4 cm-1 and are plotted as percentage transmittance against wavenumber.

The plastic may contain a variety of additives, including other polymers, which are used to enhance the properties of the plastic compound. For example, plasticisers, inorganic fillers, antidegradants, fire retardants, and specialist additives such as antistatic agents and cross-linkers. It is unlikely that more than 90-95% of a complex formulation can be determined by analysis alone. Compounds may contain over 10 different ingredients, some present at very low levels.

The use of thermosets dates back over 100 years to the advent of phenolics. Today, a large range of different reactive chemicals is used in the synthesis of these resins. Common thermoset systems include phenol-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, resorcinol-formaldehyde, epoxy, polyurethane, polyalkyd, silicone, polyester, acrylic, furan, and polyimide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA variety of additives are found in thermosets. Plasticizer-type compounds are used to promote the flow of high viscosity compounds such as epoxy resins. Particulate fillers are used to reduce cost or improve properties and fibrous materials for increased strength and rigidity. Other additives include anti-degradants, curing agents (hardeners and accelerators), flame retardants and lubricants. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThermosets are used in a wide range of applications from moldings and composites to adhesives. Analysis of thermosets is carried out to determine the reasons for failure, for quality control, to measure residual monomer, to detect contaminants, to monitor the extent of cure and for deformulation. Materials based on thermosets present the analyst with considerable challenges due to their complexity and the wide range of polymer types and additives available. The author of this review has many years of experience in the Polymer Analysis division at Rapra Technology Limited. He has a practical understanding of the usefulness and feasibility of the many techniques on offer to the chemist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWet chemistry techniques were mainly used historically. One example is the spectrophotometric titration of epoxy groups using a halogen acid and 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonate as the chromophore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpectroscopic techniques include infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet, nuclear magnetic resonance, atomic absorption, X-ray fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChromatographic techniques include gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, HPLC, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, gel permeation chromatography, thin layer chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThermal techniques used to analyze thermosets include differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, thermal mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and dielectric analysis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many other analytical techniques covered in this review, which describes their specific uses and even set up details for some analytical techniques.

The use of thermosets dates back over 100 years to the advent of phenolics. Today, a large range of different reactive chemicals is used in the synthesis of these resins. Common thermoset systems include phenol-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, resorcinol-formaldehyde, epoxy, polyurethane, polyalkyd, silicone, polyester, acrylic, furan, and polyimide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA variety of additives are found in thermosets. Plasticizer-type compounds are used to promote the flow of high viscosity compounds such as epoxy resins. Particulate fillers are used to reduce cost or improve properties and fibrous materials for increased strength and rigidity. Other additives include anti-degradants, curing agents (hardeners and accelerators), flame retardants and lubricants. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThermosets are used in a wide range of applications from moldings and composites to adhesives. Analysis of thermosets is carried out to determine the reasons for failure, for quality control, to measure residual monomer, to detect contaminants, to monitor the extent of cure and for deformulation. Materials based on thermosets present the analyst with considerable challenges due to their complexity and the wide range of polymer types and additives available. The author of this review has many years of experience in the Polymer Analysis division at Rapra Technology Limited. He has a practical understanding of the usefulness and feasibility of the many techniques on offer to the chemist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWet chemistry techniques were mainly used historically. One example is the spectrophotometric titration of epoxy groups using a halogen acid and 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonate as the chromophore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpectroscopic techniques include infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet, nuclear magnetic resonance, atomic absorption, X-ray fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChromatographic techniques include gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, HPLC, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, gel permeation chromatography, thin layer chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThermal techniques used to analyze thermosets include differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, thermal mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and dielectric analysis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many other analytical techniques covered in this review, which describes their specific uses and even set up details for some analytical techniques. The references at the end of the report describe many specific instances of the analysis of thermoset materials published over the last 10 years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Rapra Polymer Library database, to facilitate further reading on this subject.

These are subject to stringent regulations, which include a requirement for physicochemical and toxicity testing. In some countries, existing chemicals are also undergoing safety checks. The aim is to determine their hazardous properties and the risks involved in using substances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHealth and safety of the environment and the individual are becoming of prime importance to society and extensive legislation has been developed. To the R\u0026amp;D chemist, this is a maze to negotiate when trying to introduce a new material or chemical into a different marketplace. What tests are required and for which markets? What do the test results mean? Who are the key organisations in each global region? Legislation varies between applications and often the quantity of chemical in use is critical to determining the level of testing required. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Practical Guide to Chemical Safety Testing describes the different tests that must be performed on new chemicals and other materials to demonstrate to the regulatory authorities that they are safe for use. Tests vary from physico-chemical, measuring properties such as melting point and density, through genetic toxicity studies, to mammalian toxicology and studies to investigate effects on the environment. Animal testing is carried out to look for potential irritants, harmful substances, corrosive agents, allergens, cancer causing potential, etc. Each test type is described here and the validity of the test methods is debated. For example, there are sometimes major differences between simple model systems using cell lines or bacteria, effects in laboratory animals and, most importantly, with effects on humans. This can give rise to a misleading interpretation of results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a chapter devoted to alternatives to animal testing for safety evaluation. Many non-animal screening tests are available. It is also becoming increasingly possible to cross-match many new chemicals with existing toxicity data to predict potential carcinogenicity, allergenicity, etc. These approaches can reduce the test requirements for the chemical, although a structural alert showing the presence of a suspect chemical moiety can trigger definitive toxicological assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEcotoxicological testing is carried out to determine the level of hazard to organisms in the environment. Important properties used to estimate environmental fate include the solubility of the test material in water, its ability to adsorb to soil and its potential for accumulation in animals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegulations vary depending on the intended purpose of a material, and this book describes the requirements for general chemicals, polymers, food contact materials, medical devices, and biocides. Often the quantity imported into a region determines the stringency of the testing required. The EU, the USA, Japan and other geographical regions each have its own set of regulations. These are outlined here. In some instances, approval of a chemical in one country will lead to automatic approval in a second country. In other cases, new testing is required. This is a very complex situation. The second half of this book sets out to untangle the web of legal issues facing manufacturers and suppliers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is essential reading for chemical and material manufacturers and suppliers. It describes clearly the process of obtaining approval for use in a variety of global regions and across different applications. It also explains why different tests are performed and the implications of the results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1

These are subject to stringent regulations, which include a requirement for physicochemical and toxicity testing. In some countries, existing chemicals are also undergoing safety checks. The aim is to determine their hazardous properties and the risks involved in using substances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHealth and safety of the environment and the individual are becoming of prime importance to society and extensive legislation has been developed. To the R\u0026amp;D chemist, this is a maze to negotiate when trying to introduce a new material or chemical into a different marketplace. What tests are required and for which markets? What do the test results mean? Who are the key organisations in each global region? Legislation varies between applications and often the quantity of chemical in use is critical to determining the level of testing required. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Practical Guide to Chemical Safety Testing describes the different tests that must be performed on new chemicals and other materials to demonstrate to the regulatory authorities that they are safe for use. Tests vary from physico-chemical, measuring properties such as melting point and density, through genetic toxicity studies, to mammalian toxicology and studies to investigate effects on the environment. Animal testing is carried out to look for potential irritants, harmful substances, corrosive agents, allergens, cancer causing potential, etc. Each test type is described here and the validity of the test methods is debated. For example, there are sometimes major differences between simple model systems using cell lines or bacteria, effects in laboratory animals and, most importantly, with effects on humans. This can give rise to a misleading interpretation of results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a chapter devoted to alternatives to animal testing for safety evaluation. Many non-animal screening tests are available. It is also becoming increasingly possible to cross-match many new chemicals with existing toxicity data to predict potential carcinogenicity, allergenicity, etc. These approaches can reduce the test requirements for the chemical, although a structural alert showing the presence of a suspect chemical moiety can trigger definitive toxicological assessment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEcotoxicological testing is carried out to determine the level of hazard to organisms in the environment. Important properties used to estimate environmental fate include the solubility of the test material in water, its ability to adsorb to soil and its potential for accumulation in animals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegulations vary depending on the intended purpose of a material, and this book describes the requirements for general chemicals, polymers, food contact materials, medical devices, and biocides. Often the quantity imported into a region determines the stringency of the testing required. The EU, the USA, Japan and other geographical regions each have its own set of regulations. These are outlined here. In some instances, approval of a chemical in one country will lead to automatic approval in a second country. In other cases, new testing is required. This is a very complex situation. The second half of this book sets out to untangle the web of legal issues facing manufacturers and suppliers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is essential reading for chemical and material manufacturers and suppliers. It describes clearly the process of obtaining approval for use in a variety of global regions and across different applications. It also explains why different tests are performed and the implications of the results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.1

The basic curing process is the same in each case: the liquid resin first gels and then becomes a glassy solid. If the curing process carries on for too long, degradation of the material can occur. On the other hand, if it does not proceed for long enough or at too low a temperature, insufficient curing takes place and the material properties are inadequate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is critical that the material remains in a more fluid state during the initial stages so that it can be readily manipulated, for example, in mould filling. Thus it is useful to know when gelation occurs and viscosity increases. Property measurement is a basis of many key techniques for monitoring cure. As well as viscosity, the glass transition temperature increases with the degree of crosslinking of the material.

They have been used since the 1970s in geotechnical (soil) structures for functions such as separation, reinforcement, drainage, filtration, liquid containment and as gas barriers. In practice, this has included applications as diverse as reinforcement in the walls of the Pentagon, reservoir liners, canal liners, road reinforcement, retaining walls, sports fields, dams, landfill liners, embankment stabilisation, tree containers, chemical tank liners, and as base and roofing membranes for new buildings. There is an increasing trend to use recyclates in geosynthetics, particularly PET from bottle recovery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeosynthetics often play critical roles in civil engineering and it is important that the materials in use can withstand the physical and chemical pressures of the environment. These range from resistance to leachates from landfill to resistance to root damage in soil liners, as well as standard properties such as resistance to creep, oxidation and UV light, and tensile strength.

Dr. Cook is an expert in the testing of geosynthetics and has covered this area in the review. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are several main categories of geosynthetics: geotextiles, geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners, geogrids, and geonets.

The US regulatory system is complex, with various approval and certification schemes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Rapra Review Report provides a clearly written summary of the current legislation surrounding the use of plastics in contact with food. It will be of interest to those working to formulate food-contact plastics, food processors and testing laboratories, packaging manufacturers and users, together with organisations working to ensure safe conditions for food production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Rapra Polymer Library database, to facilitate further reading on this subject. A subject index and a company index are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW \u003cbr\u003e2.
