The book analyzes the existing literature paying special attention to recent developments, and is divided into 14 chapters, each of which concentrates on essential performances of nucleating agents. Chemical origin and related properties of nucleating agents are analyzed in general terms to highlight the differences in their properties and the book also provides the most essential theoretical knowledge required for proper selection and use of nucleating and clarifying agents. This includes polymer crystallization with and without nucleating agents, parameters of crystallization, essential influences on the nucleation processes, the measures of nucleation efficiency, the mechanisms of nucleation, and the effective methods of dispersion of nucleating agents. Later chapters concentrate on the application aspects in different formulations, outlining nineteen polymer processing methods which require use of nucleating agents, forty different polymers which are known to use nucleating agents, and sixteen applied examples of commercial products with nucleating agents. The final three chapters discuss the effects of nucleating agents on physical and mechanical properties of materials, the most essential analytical techniques, and health and safety in use of nucleating agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e2 Chemical Origin of Nucleating Agents\u003cbr\u003e3 Polymer Crystallization with and without Nucleating Agents\u003cbr\u003e4 Parameters of Crystallization\u003cbr\u003e5 What Influences Nucleation?\u003cbr\u003e6 Nucleation Efficiency Measures\u003cbr\u003e7 Mechanisms of Crystallization\u003cbr\u003e8 Dispersion of Nucleating Agents\u003cbr\u003e9 Nucleating Agents in Different Processing Methods\u003cbr\u003e10 Application of Nucleating Agents in Specific Polymers\u003cbr\u003e11 Nucleating Agents in Various Products\u003cbr\u003e12 Effect of Nucleating Agents on Physical-mechanical Properties\u003cbr\u003e13 Important Analytical Methods Used in the Studies of Nucleating Agents\u003cbr\u003e14 Health and Safety with Nucleating Agents\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Plastics \u0026amp; polymers technology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Plastics \u0026amp; polymers technology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Plastics%20\u0026amp;%20polymers%20technology%20%5BTDCP%5D%22\"\u003eTDCP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"ChemTec Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651783774488,"sku":"9781927885819","price":199.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781927885819_5813c764-094f-4ba4-9bc4-5af66f4a5c63.jpg?v=1696408168","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/handbook-of-nucleating-agents-hardback-9781927885819","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
