pages.
This text provides a comprehensive guide to the main types of particulate-filled polymers. It covers their characteristics, the rules goveing their use, methods of incorporation and the effects of surface treatment.
This is the second edition of this book. This book brings together many scientific and technical disciplines, including mineralogy, crystallography, precipitation, powder technology, materials science and many more. All the chapters have been updated for this book and there is the addition of an extra one on Composites using Nanofillers. This book is a fundamental guide to the subject and will be of interest to filler producers, machinery manufacturers, polymer compounders and suppliers of processing aids and surface modifiers.
General Principles Guiding Selection and Use of Particulate Materials
Principal Types of Particulate Fillers
Analytical Techniques for Characterising Filler Surfaces
Surface Modification and Surface Modifiers
Compound Preparation, Mixture Characterisation and Process Enhancement of Particulate-Filled Polymer Compounds
Effects of Particulate Fillers on Flame Retardant Properties of Composites
Particulate Fillers in Elastomers
Filled Thermoplastics
Filled Thermosets
Composites Using Nano-Fillers
