Handbook of Nucleating AgentsAuthor(s): George Wypych\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Chem Tec Publishing,Canada, Canada\nImprint: Chem Tec Publishing,Canada\nISBN-13: 9781927885819, 978-1927885819\nSynopsis\nHandbook of Nucleating Agents, Second Edition gives engineers and materials scientists the information they need to increase the production rate, modify structure and morphology, improve mechanical performance, and reduce the haze of polymeric products through proper selection of nucleating agents (and/or the so-called clarifying agents). 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 nuc.
