The definitive reference on the properties and applications ofpolyolefin blends
Polyolefins account for more than half of total plasticsconsumption in the world. In recent years, usage of and research onpolyolefin blends have increased significantly due to newapplications in medicine, packaging, and other fields and thedevelopment of novel polyolefins. With a special emphasis on nano-and micro-structures of crystals and phase morphology, PolyolefinBlends condenses and consolidates current information onpolyolefins so that the reader can compare, select, and integrate amaterial solution. Focusing exclusively on the fundamental aspectsas well as applications of polyolefin blends, this authoritativereference:
* Features an introductory chapter that serves as a guide topolyolefin blends
* Includes chapters covering formulation design, processing,characterization, modeling and simulation, engineering performanceproperties, and applications
* Covers polyolefin/polyolefin blends and polyolefin/non-polyolefinblends
* Discusses miscibility, phase behavior, functionalization,compatibilization, microstructure, crystallization, hierarchicalmorphology, and physical and mechanical properties
* Covers new research trends including in-situ reactor blending andreactive processing, such as compatibilization/functionalization inthe melt
* Contains practical examples from open literature sources andcommercial products
With chapters contributed by leading experts from severalcountries, this is a must-have reference for scientists andengineers conducting research on polyolefin blends and forprofessionals in medical, packaging, and other commodity fields. Itis also an excellent text for graduate students studying polymerscience and polymer processing.
