Overview and compound ingredients -- Polymer-particle filler systems -- Polymer solutions and swollen vulcanizates -- Polymer additive binary systems -- Binary polymer blends -- Ternary systems: polymer blends plus liquid additives and compatibilizing agents -- Polymer-filler-additives and curative-accelerator compounds -- Multicomponent compounds -- Mixing machinery: batch and continuous
Summary
This book describes the composition of all major types of polymer compounds, both thermoplastics as well as rubbers. It describes the intended effects of various additives and the complexity of their, sometimes unintended, interactions
