Provides comprehensive information on material weathering for over forty families of polymers. This book presents discussions on formulating mechanisms of degradation, effect of thermal processes, present characteristic changes in properties, and tables of available numerical data.

Presents the history, characteristics, and uses for the vibrant yellow element, sulfur. This book introduces 'the Sulfur Age' and the processes of this period - such as the Nordhausen, Bell and Leblanc methods. It reviews native sulfur production in Sicily, once a major supplier to the world.

Contains information on over 300 important additives for polymers - additives which are used to minimize adhesion, aid separation and enhance processing and end-applications for polymers. This title includes a large amount of data, from state, odor, and color to autoignition temperature and probability of biodegradation.

The most notable new sections discuss heterogeneity in flow, rheology of highly concentrated emulsions and suspensions, viscosity and viscoelastic behavior of nanocomposites, behavior of supramolecular solutions, rheology of gels, deformation-induced anisotropy, conformation changes during flow, and molecular orientation.

Handbook of Material Biodegradation, Biodeterioration, and Biostabilization, Second Edition gives extensive information on the microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of materials, along with the biocides which are permitted for use according to the most up-to-date worldwide legislation. Mechanisms of biodegradation and biodeterioration, results of biodeterioration, and methods of biostabilization are covered for a large number of products, making the title relevant for a range of industries and applications, including construction, coatings/paints, medical and pharmaceutical applications, and electronics. In addition, the health and safety aspects of biocide application are covered in detail, as well as the personal protection of practitioners who are required to use them. The contents and the most-up-to-date information make this book essential for almost all the fields of applied chemistry.

Contains detailed information on over 300 frequently used antistatic additives for polymers - additives capable of modifying properties of materials so that they become antistatic, conductive or EMI shielded. This book is suitable for industry, research, and academia.
