Handbook of Nucleating AgentsAuthor(s): George Wypych\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Chem Tec Publishing,Canada, Canada\nImprint: Chem Tec Publishing,Canada\nISBN-13: 9781895198935, 978-1895198935\nSynopsis\nHandbook of Nucleating Agents gives engineers and materials scientists the information they need to increase the production rate, modify structure and morphology, and reduce haze of polymeric products with proper selection of nucleating agents and clarifying agents. Chemical origin and related properties of nucleating agents are analyzed in general terms to highlight the differences in their properties, including the essential theoretical knowledge required for correct selection and use of nucleating and clarifying agents. This includes methods of chemical modification of nucleating agents and their deposition on suitable substrates; methods and results of dispersion of nucleating agents; influence of their concentration and cooling rate on final result and rate of crystallization.
