The previous edition, used by very large number of readers, does not contain essential developments of extensive research on fillers in the last 10 years, especially related to nanofillers. \u003cbr\u003e Fillers, in most applications, are no longer used as cost-saving additives but they add value to final products, and many products cannot be successfully designed without them. This reference book is a powerful tool for today’s challenges, which can only be met by those equipped with extensive information. \u003cbr\u003e The book provides the information on three groups of relevant topics: available fillers and their properties, their effect on filled materials, and their use in practical applications. \u003cbr\u003e One third of the book covers the grades of fillers available in the world market. Fillers are divided into 83 groups and their properties are analyzed to pinpoint properties, applications, and sources. The technical information is a synthesis of information on several thousand grades of fillers manufactured today. The morphology of fillers, in addition to the numerical and other data, is illustrated by 154 SEM TEM, AFM micrographs.\u003cbr\u003e The second part of the handbook discusses the effects of filler incorporation. Ten chapters cover the mechanical properties of compounded materials, the effect of the filler on material rheology, the morphology of the filled system, the material durability, flammability and recycling, the structure of interphase, chemical interactions, interaction with and effect on other additives, fillers use in material combinations, and the analytical methods of testing fillers and filled materials.\u003cbr\u003e The last part of the book is concerned with application of fillers on an industrial scale. Several chapters discuss filler transportation, storage, processing and equipment used for these purposes. Others deal with the quality control of fillers, formulation with fillers, different processing methods, groups of products, and health and safety issues. \u003cbr\u003e This book is designed to assist industrial engineers to evaluate advances in the processing technology. It is also invaluable for chemists who design formulations for industrial processes and students in chemical engineering who must learn how modern industry operates in practical applications. The handbook is invaluable for sales and marketing because it gives possibility of direct comparison of fillers and their potential use and contains all required information to position them in the marketplace. The previous edition was very popular among environmental engineers, patent and litigation lawyers, and employees of various governmental agencies. \u003cbr\u003e To summarize, major features of this handbook are:\u003cbr\u003e• Comprehensive review of literature\u003cbr\u003e• The most current information\u003cbr\u003e• Information required by scientists, engineers, marketing, sales, and students given in one source\u003cbr\u003e• All aspects of filler properties, effects, and application thoroughly reviewed\u003cbr\u003e• Contains all available information to make decision on what can be done

The previous edition, used by very large number of readers, does not contain essential developments of extensive research on fillers in the last 10 years, especially related to nanofillers. \u003cbr\u003e Fillers, in most applications, are no longer used as cost-saving additives but they add value to final products, and many products cannot be successfully designed without them. This reference book is a powerful tool for today’s challenges, which can only be met by those equipped with extensive information. \u003cbr\u003e The book provides the information on three groups of relevant topics: available fillers and their properties, their effect on filled materials, and their use in practical applications. \u003cbr\u003e One third of the book covers the grades of fillers available in the world market. Fillers are divided into 83 groups and their properties are analyzed to pinpoint properties, applications, and sources. The technical information is a synthesis of information on several thousand grades of fillers manufactured today. The morphology of fillers, in addition to the numerical and other data, is illustrated by 154 SEM TEM, AFM micrographs.\u003cbr\u003e The second part of the handbook discusses the effects of filler incorporation. Ten chapters cover the mechanical properties of compounded materials, the effect of the filler on material rheology, the morphology of the filled system, the material durability, flammability and recycling, the structure of interphase, chemical interactions, interaction with and effect on other additives, fillers use in material combinations, and the analytical methods of testing fillers and filled materials.\u003cbr\u003e The last part of the book is concerned with application of fillers on an industrial scale. Several chapters discuss filler transportation, storage, processing and equipment used for these purposes. Others deal with the quality control of fillers, formulation with fillers, different processing methods, groups of products, and health and safety issues. \u003cbr\u003e This book is designed to assist industrial engineers to evaluate advances in the processing technology. It is also invaluable for chemists who design formulations for industrial processes and students in chemical engineering who must learn how modern industry operates in practical applications. The handbook is invaluable for sales and marketing because it gives possibility of direct comparison of fillers and their potential use and contains all required information to position them in the marketplace. The previous edition was very popular among environmental engineers, patent and litigation lawyers, and employees of various governmental agencies. \u003cbr\u003e To summarize, major features of this handbook are:\u003cbr\u003e• Comprehensive review of literature\u003cbr\u003e• The most current information\u003cbr\u003e• Information required by scientists, engineers, marketing, sales, and students given in one source\u003cbr\u003e• All aspects of filler properties, effects, and application thoroughly reviewed\u003cbr\u003e• Contains all available information to make decision on what can be done

The previous editions, used by very large number of readers, does not contain essential developments of extensive research on fillers in the last 10 years, especially related to nanofillers, graphene and other novelty products. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFillers, in most applications, are no longer used as cost-saving additives but they add value to final products, and many products cannot be successfully designed without them. This reference book is a powerful tool for today’s challenges, which can only be met by those equipped with extensive information. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book provides the information on three groups of relevant topics: available fillers and their properties, their effect on filled materials, and their use in practical applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne third of the book covers the grades of fillers available in the world market. Fillers are divided into 83 groups and their properties are analyzed to pinpoint properties, applications, and sources. The technical information is a synthesis of information on several thousand grades of fillers manufactured today. The morphology of fillers, in addition to the numerical and other data, is illustrated by over 200 SEM TEM, AFM micrographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second part of the handbook discusses the effects of filler incorporation. Ten chapters cover the mechanical properties of compounded materials, the effect of the filler on material rheology, the morphology of the filled system, the material durability, flammability and recycling, the structure of interphase, chemical interactions, interaction with and effect on other additives, fillers use in material combinations, and the analytical methods of testing fillers and filled materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last part of the book is concerned with application of fillers on an industrial scale. Several chapters discuss filler transportation, storage, processing and equipment used for these purposes. Others deal with the quality control of fillers, formulation with fillers, different processing methods, groups of products, and health and safety issues. This part is designed to assist industrial engineers to evaluate advances in the processing technology. It is also invaluable for chemists who design formulations for industrial processes and students in chemical engineering who must learn how modern industry operates in practical applications. The handbook is invaluable for sales and marketing because it gives possibility of direct comparison of fillers and their potential use and contains all required information to position them in the marketplace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo summarize, major features of this handbook are:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Comprehensive review of literature\u003cbr\u003e• The most current information\u003cbr\u003e• Information required by scientists, engineers, marketing, sales, and students given in one source\u003cbr\u003e• All aspects of filler properties, effects, and application

The previous editions, used by very large number of readers, does not contain essential developments of extensive research on fillers in the last 10 years, especially related to nanofillers, graphene and other novelty products. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFillers, in most applications, are no longer used as cost-saving additives but they add value to final products, and many products cannot be successfully designed without them. This reference book is a powerful tool for today’s challenges, which can only be met by those equipped with extensive information. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book provides the information on three groups of relevant topics: available fillers and their properties, their effect on filled materials, and their use in practical applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne third of the book covers the grades of fillers available in the world market. Fillers are divided into 83 groups and their properties are analyzed to pinpoint properties, applications, and sources. The technical information is a synthesis of information on several thousand grades of fillers manufactured today. The morphology of fillers, in addition to the numerical and other data, is illustrated by over 200 SEM TEM, AFM micrographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second part of the handbook discusses the effects of filler incorporation. Ten chapters cover the mechanical properties of compounded materials, the effect of the filler on material rheology, the morphology of the filled system, the material durability, flammability and recycling, the structure of interphase, chemical interactions, interaction with and effect on other additives, fillers use in material combinations, and the analytical methods of testing fillers and filled materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last part of the book is concerned with application of fillers on an industrial scale. Several chapters discuss filler transportation, storage, processing and equipment used for these purposes. Others deal with the quality control of fillers, formulation with fillers, different processing methods, groups of products, and health and safety issues. This part is designed to assist industrial engineers to evaluate advances in the processing technology. It is also invaluable for chemists who design formulations for industrial processes and students in chemical engineering who must learn how modern industry operates in practical applications. The handbook is invaluable for sales and marketing because it gives possibility of direct comparison of fillers and their potential use and contains all required information to position them in the marketplace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo summarize, major features of this handbook are:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Comprehensive review of literature\u003cbr\u003e• The most current information\u003cbr\u003e• Information required by scientists, engineers, marketing, sales, and students given in one source\u003cbr\u003e• All aspects of filler properties, effects, and application

In the tabulated form, the typical range of technical performance is given for each group of foaming agents, including general properties, physical-chemical properties, health and safety, environmental impact, and application in different products and polymers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 discusses mechanisms of foaming with the use of solid blowing agents which are decomposed to the gaseous products by application of heat, production of gaseous products by chemical reaction, and foaming by gasses and evaporating liquids. All information is illustrated by diagrams placed close to the text of discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDispersion of solid foaming agents and solubility of liquid and gaseous products is a subject of Chapter 4 with special emphasis on uniformity of foam produced and parameters of the foaming process. Evaluation of importance of parameters of foaming, included in chapter 5, contains influence of the amount of blowing agent, clamping pressure, delay time, desorption time, die pressure, die temperature, gas content, gas flow rate, gas injection location, gas sorption and desorption rates, internal pressure after foaming, mold pressure, mold temperature, operational window, plastisol viscosity, saturation pressure, saturation temperature, screw revolution speed, surface tension, time, temperature, and void volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoam stabilization methods for different blowing agents are included in Chapter 6. These methods help to obtain uniform structure of a foam and reinforce cell walls. Seven different foam efficiency measures are presented in Chapter 7. Morphology of foams is discussed in Chapter 8, including production of bimodal foams, cell density, cell morphology, cell size, cell wall thickness, closed and open cell formation and frequency, core and skin thickness, and morphological features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction of foam by different methods of plastic processing, such as blown film extrusion, calendering, clay exfoliation in production of reinforced composites, compression molding, depressurization, extrusion, free foaming, injection molding, microwave heating, rotational molding, solid-state foaming, supercritical fluid-laden pellet injection molding foaming, thermoforming, UV laser, vacuum drying, and wire coating are discussed in Chapter 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelection of foaming agents, their quantity and technology of processing for 44 polymers are included in Chapter 10. Chapter 11 discusses the influence of 15 groups of additives on the foaming outcome. Chapter 12 gives information on the effect of foaming on 24 parameters of physical-mechanical properties of foams, setting the standard of achievable performance. Some important and exclusive analytical techniques useful in foaming are discussed in Chapter 13. In the last chapter, health and safety and environmental impacts of foaming processes are discussed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book has also companion \u003cstrong\u003eDatabook of Blowing and Auxiliary Agents\u003c\/strong\u003e which contains data for these diverse chemical components of formulations of foamed materials and reveals their roles in foaming processes.

Stabilization and Stabilizers and Chapter 18. Biodegradation. Even without these, two chapters the 5th edition was larger than the previous 4th edition. The reason is quite obvious - the field is systematically growing with new data, methods, and discoveries happening every day. The 6th edition is updated by all new data and publications to produce a monograph containing all recent advances.\u003cbr\u003eIn response to requests by some users and changes in the available volume of the book by the printer (1200 pages can now be printed in one volume).

The book contains information from the most recent sources and updated information from the previous edition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe information available today permits to use plasticizers more effectively and to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability problems. Plasticizer incorporation demands a broad background of information because plasticizers are now added to complex mixtures containing the variety of materials which may have different reactions to the presence of plasticizers. Plasticizer's choice is also not simple because there is a large selection of commercial plasticizers and various environmental issues dictating preferred solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects considered indicate the need for a comprehensive source which, using currently available means of the computerized database should provide data and a broad background of theoretical information in the condensed form easy to search. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll numerical data are in the form of database (see information on Plasticizer Database which is a separate publication), whereas the theoretical component of information is given in the traditional form of a printed book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty one chapters are included in Handbook of Plasticizers. Full Table of Contents is also available for review. Only some chapters are discussed here to add more information which may not be obvious from the table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData are available for a large number of commercial plasticizers. This data is used in Chapter 2 to specify typical properties of plasticizers which belong to one of the groups and also to give ranges of expected properties for a given group.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters 5, 6 and 7 contain new and historical approaches, which explain mechanisms of plasticizers action and their behavior in plasticized systems. This theoretical background helps to understand practical observations and provides guidance to the methods of material improvement. Chapter 9 shows plasticization steps and results of various analytical studies which help in understanding these steps and parameters which may control them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty five Sections of Chapter 10 discuss plasticizers effect on physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials. These sections are essential for understanding the behavior of materials and principles of their formulation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 contains data on the use of plasticizers in 61 groups of polymers. The information is grouped under the following sections – Frequently used plasticizers, Practical concentrations, Main functions performed by plasticizers, Mechanism of plasticizer action, Effect of plasticizers on polymer and other additives, and Typical formulations. Use of such consistent method of data presentation helps to find information quickly and to compare data from various sources and applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilar, Chapter 13 discusses the use of plasticizers in 34 groups of products according to a similar breakdown including Plasticizer types, Plasticizer concentration, Reasons for plasticizer use, Advantages and disadvantages of plasticizers use, Effect of plasticizers on product properties, and Examples of formulations. Both chapters make use of a large number of patents and information in open literature discussing the most current findings and trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 14 attempts are being made to discuss the following topics: Effect of plasticizers on process conditions, Processing defects formation and elimination with use of plasticizers, Influence of rheological changes on the process, Equipment maintenance, and Energy consumption. This chapter discusses 15 methods of polymer and rubber processing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral chapters which follow discuss various aspects of plasticizer effect on health, safety, and environment.

Plasticizer's choice is also not simple because there is a large selection of commercial plasticizers and various environmental issues dictating preferred solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects considered indicate the need for a comprehensive source which, using currently available means of the computerized database should provide data and a broad background of theoretical information in the condensed form easy to search. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll numerical data are in the form of database (see information on Plasticizer Database which is a separate publication), whereas the theoretical component of information is given in the traditional form of a printed book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty one chapters are included in Handbook of Plasticizers. Full Table of Contents is also available for review. Only some chapters are discussed here to add more information which may not be obvious from the table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData are available for a large number of commercial plasticizers. This data is used in Chapter 2 to specify typical properties of plasticizers which belong to one of the groups and also to give ranges of expected properties for a given group.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters 5, 6 and 7 contain new and historical approaches, which explain mechanisms of plasticizers action and their behavior in plasticized systems. This theoretical background helps to understand practical observations and provides guidance to the methods of material improvement. Chapter 9 shows plasticization steps and results of various analytical studies which help in understanding these steps and parameters which may control them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty five Sections of Chapter 10 discuss plasticizers effect on physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials. These sections are essential for understanding the behavior of materials and principles of their formulation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 contains data on the use of plasticizers in 61 groups of polymers. The information is grouped under the following sections – Frequently used plasticizers, Practical concentrations, Main functions performed by plasticizers, Mechanism of plasticizer action, Effect of plasticizers on polymer and other additives, and Typical formulations. Use of such consistent method of data presentation helps to find information quickly and to compare data from various sources and applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilar, Chapter 13 discusses the use of plasticizers in 34 groups of products according to a similar breakdown including Plasticizer types, Plasticizer concentration, Reasons for plasticizer use, Advantages and disadvantages of plasticizers use, Effect of plasticizers on product properties, and Examples of formulations. Both chapters make use of a large number of patents and information in open literature discussing the most current findings and trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 14 attempts are being made to discuss the following topics: Effect of plasticizers on process conditions, Processing defects formation and elimination with use of plasticizers, Influence of rheological changes on the process, Equipment maintenance, and Energy consumption. This chapter discusses 15 methods of polymer and rubber processing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral chapters which follow discuss various aspects of plasticizer effect on health, safety, and environment. Chapter 17 contains opinions of renowned experts on various aspects of plasticizers effect on health and safety. Chapter 18 contains information on plasticizers persistence in soil and water. Plasticizers releases and their presence in the environment are discussed for many important commercial plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis short review and the Table of Contents show that this book is the most comprehensive source of current information on plasticizers. Plasticizers are used in so many products that every library should have this reference source of information on plasticizers readily available for its readers. Especially considering that so many aspects of application plasticizers have recently changed that older books cannot provide right answers. This book should be used in conjunction with Plasticizer Database which gives information on the present status and properties of industrial and research plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1 INTRODUCTION \u003cbr\u003e1.1 Historical developments \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Expectations from plasticizers\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Definitions \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Classification \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 PLASTICIZER TYPES \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Characteristic properties of industrial plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.1 Abietates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.2 Adipates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.3 Alkyl sulfonates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.4 Amides and amines \u003cbr\u003e2.2.5 Azelates\u003cbr\u003e2.2.6 Benzoates\u003cbr\u003e2.2.7 Bioplasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.8 Biodegradable plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.9 Chlorinated paraffins \u003cbr\u003e2.2.10 Citrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.11 Cycloxehane dicarboxylate \u003cbr\u003e2.2.12 Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, diisononyl ester \u003cbr\u003eMax Kron \u003cbr\u003e2.2.13 Energetic plasticizers\u003cbr\u003e2.2.14 Epoxides\u003cbr\u003e2.2.15 Esters of C10-30 dicarboxylic acids \u003cbr\u003e2.2.16 Ether-ester plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.17 Glutarates\u003cbr\u003e2.2.18 Hydrocarbon oils \u003cbr\u003e2.2.19 Isobutyrates\u003cbr\u003e2.2.20 Maleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.21 Oleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.22 Pentaerythritol derivatives \u003cbr\u003e2.2.23 Phosphates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.24 Phthalate-free plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.25 Phthalates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26 Polymeric plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.27 Ricinoleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.28 Sebacates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.29 Sulfonamides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.30 Superplasticizers and plasticizers for concrete\u003cbr\u003e2.2.31 Tri- and pyromellitates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.32 Other plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Methods of synthesis and their effect on properties of plasticizers\u003cbr\u003e2.4 Reactive plasticizers and internal \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 TYPICAL METHODS OF QUALITY CONTROL OF PLASTICIZERS\u003cbr\u003e3.1 Abbreviations, terminology, and vocabulary\u003cbr\u003e3.2 Acid number \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Aging studies \u003cbr\u003e3.4 Ash \u003cbr\u003e3.5 Brittleness temperature \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Brookfield viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Chemical resistance \u003cbr\u003e3.8 Color \u003cbr\u003e3.9 Compatibility \u003cbr\u003e3.10 Compression set \u003cbr\u003e3.11 Concrete additives \u003cbr\u003e3.12 Electrical properties \u003cbr\u003e3.13 Extractable matter \u003cbr\u003e3.14 Flash and fire point \u003cbr\u003e3.15 Fogging\u003cbr\u003e3.16 Fusion\u003cbr\u003e3.17 Gas chromatography\u003cbr\u003e3.18 Hardness \u003cbr\u003e3.19 Infrared analysis of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e3.20 Kinematic viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.21 Marking (classification) \u003cbr\u003e3.22 Melt rheology\u003cbr\u003e3.23 Migration \u003cbr\u003e3.24 Poly(vinyl chloride) – standard specification \u003cbr\u003e3.25 Powder-mix time\u003cbr\u003e3.26 Purity\u003cbr\u003e3.27 Refractive index\u003cbr\u003e3.28 Residual contamination \u003cbr\u003e3.29 Sampling \u003cbr\u003e3.30 Saponification value\u003cbr\u003e3.31 Saybolt viscosity\u003cbr\u003e3.32 Sorption of plasticizer\u003cbr\u003e3.33 Specific gravity \u003cbr\u003e3.34 Specification\u003cbr\u003e3.35 Staining \u003cbr\u003e3.36 Stiffness\u003cbr\u003e3.37 Tensile properties\u003cbr\u003e3.38 Thermal expansion coefficient \u003cbr\u003e3.39 Unsaponifiable contents \u003cbr\u003e3.40 Viscosity of plastisols and organosols \u003cbr\u003e3.41 Water concentration\u003cbr\u003e3.42 Weight \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE\u003cbr\u003e4.1 Transportation\u003cbr\u003e4.2 Storage \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 MECHANISMS OF PLASTICIZERS ACTION\u003cbr\u003eA.

The book contains information from the most recent sources and updated information from the previous editions. \u003cbr\u003eThe information available today permits to use plasticizers more effectively and to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability problems. The source of raw materials used for the production of plasticizers is becoming one of the issues in the selection of plasticizers. The book contains information on plasticizers obtained from renewable resources. Plasticizer incorporation demands a broad background of information because plasticizers are now added to complex mixtures containing a variety of materials which may have different reactions to the presence of plasticizers. Plasticizer's choice is also not simple because there is a large selection of commercial plasticizers and various environmental issues dictating preferred solutions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects considered indicate the need for a comprehensive source which, using currently available means of the computerized database should provide data and a broad background of theoretical information in the condensed form easy to search. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNumerical data on the most important plasticizers are provided in the tabular form of a printed book, entitled \u003cstrong\u003eDatabook of Plasticizers\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\nTwenty one chapters are included in Handbook of Plasticizers. Full Table of Contents is also available for review. Only some chapters are discussed here to add more information which may not be obvious from the table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eData are available for a large number of commercial plasticizers. This data is used in Chapter 2 to specify typical properties of plasticizers which belong to one of the thirty-one groups. The ranges of expected properties for a given group are also given.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChapters 5, 6 and 7 contain new and historical approaches, which explain mechanisms of plasticizers action and their behavior in plasticized systems. This theoretical background helps to understand practical observations and provides guidance to the methods of material improvement. Chapter 9 shows plasticization steps and results of various analytical studies which help in understanding these steps and parameters which may control them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-eight sections of Chapter 10 discuss plasticizers’ effect on physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials. These sections are essential for understanding the behavior of materials and principles of their formulation.\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 11 contains data on the use of plasticizers in 61 groups of polymers. The information is grouped under the following sections – Frequently used plasticizers, Practical concentrations, Main functions performed by plasticizers, Mechanism of plasticizer action, Effect of plasticizers on polymer and other additives and Typical formulations. Use of such consistent method of data presentation helps to find information quickly and to compare data from various sources and applications. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSimilar, Chapter 13 discusses the use of plasticizers in 33 groups of products according to a similar breakdown including Plasticizer types, Plasticizer concentration, Reasons for plasticizer use, Advantages and disadvantages of plasticizers use, Effect of plasticizers on product properties, and Examples of formulations. Both chapters make use of a large number of patents and information in open literature discussing the most current findings and trends.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 14 attempts are being made to discuss the following topics: Effect of plasticizers on process conditions, Processing defects formation and elimination with use of plasticizers, Influence of rheological changes on the process, Equipment maintenance, and Energy consumption. This chapter discusses 15 methods of polymer and rubber processing.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral chapters which follow discuss various aspects of plasticizer effect on health, safety, and environment. Chapter 17 contains opinions of renowned experts on various aspects of plasticizers effect on health and safety. Chapter 18 contains information on plasticizers persistence in soil and water. Plasticizers releases and their presence in the environment are discussed for many important commercial plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis short review and the Table of Contents show that this book is the most comprehensive source of current information on plasticizers. Plasticizers are used in so many products that every library should have this reference source of information on plasticizers readily available for its readers. Especially considering that so many aspects of application plasticizers have recently changed that older books cannot provide right answers.

The book contains information from the most recent sources and updated information from the previous editions. \u003cbr\u003eThe information available today permits to use plasticizers more effectively and to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability problems. The source of raw materials used for the production of plasticizers is becoming one of the issues in the selection of plasticizers. The book contains information on plasticizers obtained from renewable resources. Plasticizer incorporation demands a broad background of information because plasticizers are now added to complex mixtures containing a variety of materials which may have different reactions to the presence of plasticizers. Plasticizer's choice is also not simple because there is a large selection of commercial plasticizers and various environmental issues dictating preferred solutions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects considered indicate the need for a comprehensive source which, using currently available means of the computerized database should provide data and a broad background of theoretical information in the condensed form easy to search. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNumerical data on the most important plasticizers are provided in the tabular form of a printed book, entitled \u003cstrong\u003eDatabook of Plasticizers\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\nTwenty one chapters are included in Handbook of Plasticizers. Full Table of Contents is also available for review. Only some chapters are discussed here to add more information which may not be obvious from the table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eData are available for a large number of commercial plasticizers. This data is used in Chapter 2 to specify typical properties of plasticizers which belong to one of the thirty-one groups. The ranges of expected properties for a given group are also given.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChapters 5, 6 and 7 contain new and historical approaches, which explain mechanisms of plasticizers action and their behavior in plasticized systems. This theoretical background helps to understand practical observations and provides guidance to the methods of material improvement. Chapter 9 shows plasticization steps and results of various analytical studies which help in understanding these steps and parameters which may control them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-eight sections of Chapter 10 discuss plasticizers’ effect on physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials. These sections are essential for understanding the behavior of materials and principles of their formulation.\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 11 contains data on the use of plasticizers in 61 groups of polymers. The information is grouped under the following sections – Frequently used plasticizers, Practical concentrations, Main functions performed by plasticizers, Mechanism of plasticizer action, Effect of plasticizers on polymer and other additives and Typical formulations. Use of such consistent method of data presentation helps to find information quickly and to compare data from various sources and applications. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSimilar, Chapter 13 discusses the use of plasticizers in 33 groups of products according to a similar breakdown including Plasticizer types, Plasticizer concentration, Reasons for plasticizer use, Advantages and disadvantages of plasticizers use, Effect of plasticizers on product properties, and Examples of formulations. Both chapters make use of a large number of patents and information in open literature discussing the most current findings and trends.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 14 attempts are being made to discuss the following topics: Effect of plasticizers on process conditions, Processing defects formation and elimination with use of plasticizers, Influence of rheological changes on the process, Equipment maintenance, and Energy consumption. This chapter discusses 15 methods of polymer and rubber processing.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral chapters which follow discuss various aspects of plasticizer effect on health, safety, and environment. Chapter 17 contains opinions of renowned experts on various aspects of plasticizers effect on health and safety. Chapter 18 contains information on plasticizers persistence in soil and water. Plasticizers releases and their presence in the environment are discussed for many important commercial plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis short review and the Table of Contents show that this book is the most comprehensive source of current information on plasticizers. Plasticizers are used in so many products that every library should have this reference source of information on plasticizers readily available for its readers. Especially considering that so many aspects of application plasticizers have recently changed that older books cannot provide right answers.

The book serves both as a basic reference source for researchers, engineers, and others involved in plastics processing, research and development as well as a source of ideas regarding future developments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book contains a comprehensive review of information available in the open literature, such as published scientific papers, information from plasticizer manufacturers, and patent literature. The information from the most recent sources was used to update information from previous editions. \u003cbr\u003eThe information available today permits the use of plasticizers more effectively and helps to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability problems. The source of raw materials used to produce plasticizers is becoming one of the issues in their selection. The book contains information on plasticizers obtained from renewable resources. Plasticizer incorporation demands a broad background of information because plasticizers are now added to complex mixtures containing a variety of materials that may have different reactions to the presence of plasticizers. Plasticizer choice is also not simple because there is a large selection of commercial plasticizers and various environmental issues dictating preferred solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects considered indicate the need for a comprehensive source which, using currently available means of the computerized database, should provide data and a broad background of theoretical information in a condensed form easy to search. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumerical data on the most important plasticizers are provided in the tabular form of the printed book entitled Databook of Plasticizers. \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-one chapters are included in the Handbook of Plasticizers. The full Table of Contents is given below. Only some chapters are discussed here to add more information that may not be obvious from the table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData are available for a large number of commercial plasticizers. This data is used in Chapter 2 to specify typical properties of plasticizers that belong to one of the thirty-one groups. The ranges of expected properties for a given group are also given.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters 5, 6, and 7 contain new and historical approaches, which explain the mechanisms of plasticizers’ action and their behavior in plasticized systems. This theoretical background helps to understand practical observations and provides guidance to the methods of material improvement. Chapter 9 shows plasticization steps and results of various analytical studies, which help in understanding these steps and the parameters which may control them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty-nine sections of Chapter 10 discuss plasticizers’ effect on the physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials. These sections are essential for understanding the behavior of materials and the principles of their formulation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 contains data on the use of plasticizers in 61 groups of polymers. The information is grouped under the following sections – Frequently used plasticizers, Practical concentrations, Main functions performed by plasticizers, Mechanism of plasticizer action, Effect of plasticizers on polymer and other additives, and Typical formulations. The use of such a consistent method of data presentation helps to find information quickly and to compare data from various sources and applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly, Chapter 13 discusses the use of plasticizers in 33 groups of products according to a similar breakdown, including Plasticizer types, Plasticizer concentration, Reasons for plasticizer use, Advantages and disadvantages of plasticizer use, Effect of plasticizers on product properties, and Examples of formulations. Both chapters make use of a large number of patents and information in open literature discussing the most current findings and trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 14, attempts are being made to discuss the following topics: The effect of plasticizers on process conditions, Processing defects formation and elimination with the use of plasticizers, In the fluence of rheological changes on the process, Equipment maintenance, and energy consumption. This chapter discusses 15 methods of polymer and rubber processing.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral chapters which follow discuss various aspects of plasticizer’s effect on health, safety, and the environment. Chapter 17 contains opinions of renowned experts on various aspects of plasticizers’ effect on health and safety. Chapter 18 contains information on plasticizers’ persistence in soil and water. Plasticizers releases and their presence in the environment are discussed for many important commercial plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis short review and the Table of Contents show that this book is the most comprehensive source of current information on plasticizers. Plasticizers are used in so many products that every library should have this reference source of information on plasticizers readily available for its readers, especially considering that so many aspects of application plasticizers have recently changed that older books cannot provide the right answers. This book is best used in conjunction with the Plasticizer Database and\/or Databook of Plasticizers which give information on the present status and properties of industrial and research plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 INTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Historical developments \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Expectations from plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Definitions \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Classification \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 PLASTICIZER TYPES\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Characteristic properties of industrial plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.1 Abietates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.2 Adipates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.3 Alkyl sulfonates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.4 Amides and amines \u003cbr\u003e2.2.5 Azelates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.6 Benzoates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.7 Bioplasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.8 Biodegradable plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.9 Chlorinated paraffins, \u003cbr\u003e2.2.10 Citrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.11 Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, diisononyl ester \u003cbr\u003e2.2.12 Energetic plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.13 Epoxides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.14 Esters of C10-30 dicarboxylic acids \u003cbr\u003e2.2.15 Ether-ester plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.16 Glutarates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.17 Hydrocarbon oils \u003cbr\u003e2.2.18 Hydrocarbon resins \u003cbr\u003e2.2.19 Isobutyrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.20 Maleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.21 Oleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.22 Pentaerythritol derivatives \u003cbr\u003e2.2.23 Phosphates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.24 Phthalate-free plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.25 Phthalates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26 Polymeric plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26.1 Esters \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26.2 Polybutenes \u003cbr\u003e2.26.3 Others \u003cbr\u003e2.2.27 Ricinoleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.28 Sebacates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.29 Succinates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.30 Sulfonamides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.31 Superplasticizers and plasticizers for concrete \u003cbr\u003e2.2.32 Tri- and pyromellitates \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Methods of synthesis and their effect on properties of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Reactive plasticizers and internal plasticization \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 TYPICAL METHODS OF QUALITY CONTROL OF PLASTICIZERS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e3.1 Abbreviations, terminology, and vocabulary \u003cbr\u003e3.2 Acid number \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Aging studies \u003cbr\u003e3.4 Ash \u003cbr\u003e3.5 Brittleness temperature \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Brookfield viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Chemical resistance \u003cbr\u003e3.8 Color \u003cbr\u003e3.9 Compatibility \u003cbr\u003e3.10 Compression set \u003cbr\u003e3.11 Concrete additives \u003cbr\u003e3.12 Electrical properties \u003cbr\u003e3.13 Extractable matter \u003cbr\u003e3.14 Flash and fire point \u003cbr\u003e3.15 Fogging \u003cbr\u003e3.16 Fusion \u003cbr\u003e3.17 Gas chromatography \u003cbr\u003e3.18 Hardness \u003cbr\u003e3.19 Infrared analysis of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e3.20 Kinematic viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.21 Marking (classification) \u003cbr\u003e3.22 Melt rheology \u003cbr\u003e3.23 Migration \u003cbr\u003e3.24 Polyvinylchloride  standard specification \u003cbr\u003e3.25 Powder-mix time \u003cbr\u003e3.26 Purity \u003cbr\u003e3.27 Refractive index \u003cbr\u003e3.28 Residual contamination \u003cbr\u003e3.29 Sampling \u003cbr\u003e3.30 Saponification value \u003cbr\u003e3.31 Saybolt viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.32 Sorption of plasticizer \u003cbr\u003e3.33 Specific gravity \u003cbr\u003e3.34 Specification \u003cbr\u003e3.35 Staining \u003cbr\u003e3.36 Stiffness \u003cbr\u003e3.37 Tensile properties \u003cbr\u003e3.38 Thermal expansion coefficient \u003cbr\u003e3.39 Unsaponifiable contents \u003cbr\u003e3.40 Viscosity of plastisols and organosols \u003cbr\u003e3.41 Water concentration \u003cbr\u003e3.42 Weight loss \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e4.1 Transportation \u003cbr\u003e4.2 Storage \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 MECHANISMS OF PLASTICIZERS ACTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A.

The book serves both as a basic reference source for researchers, engineers, and others involved in plastics processing, research and development as well as a source of ideas regarding future developments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book contains a comprehensive review of information available in the open literature, such as published scientific papers, information from plasticizer manufacturers, and patent literature. The information from the most recent sources was used to update information from previous editions. \u003cbr\u003eThe information available today permits the use of plasticizers more effectively and helps to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability problems. The source of raw materials used to produce plasticizers is becoming one of the issues in their selection. The book contains information on plasticizers obtained from renewable resources. Plasticizer incorporation demands a broad background of information because plasticizers are now added to complex mixtures containing a variety of materials that may have different reactions to the presence of plasticizers. Plasticizer choice is also not simple because there is a large selection of commercial plasticizers and various environmental issues dictating preferred solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth aspects considered indicate the need for a comprehensive source which, using currently available means of the computerized database, should provide data and a broad background of theoretical information in a condensed form easy to search. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumerical data on the most important plasticizers are provided in the tabular form of the printed book entitled Databook of Plasticizers. \u003cbr\u003eTwenty-one chapters are included in the Handbook of Plasticizers. The full Table of Contents is given below. Only some chapters are discussed here to add more information that may not be obvious from the table of contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eData are available for a large number of commercial plasticizers. This data is used in Chapter 2 to specify typical properties of plasticizers that belong to one of the thirty-one groups. The ranges of expected properties for a given group are also given.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters 5, 6, and 7 contain new and historical approaches, which explain the mechanisms of plasticizers’ action and their behavior in plasticized systems. This theoretical background helps to understand practical observations and provides guidance to the methods of material improvement. Chapter 9 shows plasticization steps and results of various analytical studies, which help in understanding these steps and the parameters which may control them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty-nine sections of Chapter 10 discuss plasticizers’ effect on the physical and mechanical properties of plasticized materials. These sections are essential for understanding the behavior of materials and the principles of their formulation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 contains data on the use of plasticizers in 61 groups of polymers. The information is grouped under the following sections – Frequently used plasticizers, Practical concentrations, Main functions performed by plasticizers, Mechanism of plasticizer action, Effect of plasticizers on polymer and other additives, and Typical formulations. The use of such a consistent method of data presentation helps to find information quickly and to compare data from various sources and applications. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly, Chapter 13 discusses the use of plasticizers in 33 groups of products according to a similar breakdown, including Plasticizer types, Plasticizer concentration, Reasons for plasticizer use, Advantages and disadvantages of plasticizer use, Effect of plasticizers on product properties, and Examples of formulations. Both chapters make use of a large number of patents and information in open literature discussing the most current findings and trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chapter 14, attempts are being made to discuss the following topics: The effect of plasticizers on process conditions, Processing defects formation and elimination with the use of plasticizers, In the fluence of rheological changes on the process, Equipment maintenance, and energy consumption. This chapter discusses 15 methods of polymer and rubber processing.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral chapters which follow discuss various aspects of plasticizer’s effect on health, safety, and the environment. Chapter 17 contains opinions of renowned experts on various aspects of plasticizers’ effect on health and safety. Chapter 18 contains information on plasticizers’ persistence in soil and water. Plasticizers releases and their presence in the environment are discussed for many important commercial plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis short review and the Table of Contents show that this book is the most comprehensive source of current information on plasticizers. Plasticizers are used in so many products that every library should have this reference source of information on plasticizers readily available for its readers, especially considering that so many aspects of application plasticizers have recently changed that older books cannot provide the right answers. This book is best used in conjunction with the Plasticizer Database and\/or Databook of Plasticizers which give information on the present status and properties of industrial and research plasticizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 INTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Historical developments \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Expectations from plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Definitions \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Classification \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 PLASTICIZER TYPES\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Characteristic properties of industrial plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.1 Abietates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.2 Adipates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.3 Alkyl sulfonates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.4 Amides and amines \u003cbr\u003e2.2.5 Azelates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.6 Benzoates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.7 Bioplasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.8 Biodegradable plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.9 Chlorinated paraffins, \u003cbr\u003e2.2.10 Citrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.11 Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, diisononyl ester \u003cbr\u003e2.2.12 Energetic plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.13 Epoxides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.14 Esters of C10-30 dicarboxylic acids \u003cbr\u003e2.2.15 Ether-ester plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.16 Glutarates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.17 Hydrocarbon oils \u003cbr\u003e2.2.18 Hydrocarbon resins \u003cbr\u003e2.2.19 Isobutyrates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.20 Maleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.21 Oleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.22 Pentaerythritol derivatives \u003cbr\u003e2.2.23 Phosphates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.24 Phthalate-free plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.25 Phthalates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26 Polymeric plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26.1 Esters \u003cbr\u003e2.2.26.2 Polybutenes \u003cbr\u003e2.26.3 Others \u003cbr\u003e2.2.27 Ricinoleates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.28 Sebacates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.29 Succinates \u003cbr\u003e2.2.30 Sulfonamides \u003cbr\u003e2.2.31 Superplasticizers and plasticizers for concrete \u003cbr\u003e2.2.32 Tri- and pyromellitates \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Methods of synthesis and their effect on properties of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Reactive plasticizers and internal plasticization \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 TYPICAL METHODS OF QUALITY CONTROL OF PLASTICIZERS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e3.1 Abbreviations, terminology, and vocabulary \u003cbr\u003e3.2 Acid number \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Aging studies \u003cbr\u003e3.4 Ash \u003cbr\u003e3.5 Brittleness temperature \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Brookfield viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Chemical resistance \u003cbr\u003e3.8 Color \u003cbr\u003e3.9 Compatibility \u003cbr\u003e3.10 Compression set \u003cbr\u003e3.11 Concrete additives \u003cbr\u003e3.12 Electrical properties \u003cbr\u003e3.13 Extractable matter \u003cbr\u003e3.14 Flash and fire point \u003cbr\u003e3.15 Fogging \u003cbr\u003e3.16 Fusion \u003cbr\u003e3.17 Gas chromatography \u003cbr\u003e3.18 Hardness \u003cbr\u003e3.19 Infrared analysis of plasticizers \u003cbr\u003e3.20 Kinematic viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.21 Marking (classification) \u003cbr\u003e3.22 Melt rheology \u003cbr\u003e3.23 Migration \u003cbr\u003e3.24 Polyvinylchloride  standard specification \u003cbr\u003e3.25 Powder-mix time \u003cbr\u003e3.26 Purity \u003cbr\u003e3.27 Refractive index \u003cbr\u003e3.28 Residual contamination \u003cbr\u003e3.29 Sampling \u003cbr\u003e3.30 Saponification value \u003cbr\u003e3.31 Saybolt viscosity \u003cbr\u003e3.32 Sorption of plasticizer \u003cbr\u003e3.33 Specific gravity \u003cbr\u003e3.34 Specification \u003cbr\u003e3.35 Staining \u003cbr\u003e3.36 Stiffness \u003cbr\u003e3.37 Tensile properties \u003cbr\u003e3.38 Thermal expansion coefficient \u003cbr\u003e3.39 Unsaponifiable contents \u003cbr\u003e3.40 Viscosity of plastisols and organosols \u003cbr\u003e3.41 Water concentration \u003cbr\u003e3.42 Weight loss \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e George Wypych\u003cbr\u003e4.1 Transportation \u003cbr\u003e4.2 Storage \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 MECHANISMS OF PLASTICIZERS ACTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A.
