Although a few polymers are intrinsic conductors of electricity, for most polymers, conductivity must be induced through the use of conductive fillers. Similarly, plastics are superior thermal insulators and even more so when foamed. There are applications where plastic with exceptionally high thermal ...
Functional fillers for plastics overview Composites are made from two or more different materials and their properties are usually somewhere in between those of the starting materials. So, if I add hard mineral particles to soft rubber, the hardness of the rubber will increase. That is a very ...
Joseph P. Greene, in Automotive Plastics and Composites, 2021 2.3 Functional Groups Certain chemical characteristics are associated with various groups of atoms called functional groups. Particular groups of atoms occur in a large molecule, and the characteristic chemistry is anticipated, for example, ...
Terpolymer of ethylene (E), ethyl acrylate (EA) and maleic anhydride (MAH). Used as processing aids (modifier) for rubbers of high hardness. Also used as a coupling agent for mineral fillers. Shows...view more LOTADER® AX8700 SK Functional Polymer ...
physical modification mainly improves the performance of plastics by adding fillers; chemical modification changes its properties by introducing new chemical groups into plastic molecules; toughening modification improves its toughness and impact resistance by adding toughening agents to plastics. The specific ...
Hoyonn Chemical has been specializing in functional fillers & additives for the polymer industry since 2001. Learn our Barium Sulphate and more filler series.
for the production of plastics is simply not sustainable. To this end we need to use sources of materials that are renewable, sustainable and have at least the potential to be placed into a closed-loop recycling system. These criteria are often used as a justification for the use of cellulos...
Detailed characterization of the influence of selected fillers on the functional properties of the polymer matrix-polycarbonate allowed for an increase in the range of polymer composites and their use in rapid prototyping technologies, as well as supplementing the literature on databases regarding the ...
The adhesive composition may contain other additives commonly used in adhesives formulations as known to those skilled in the art. The adhesive of the invention may be formulated with fillers known in the art for use in adhesive compositions. By the addition of such materials, physical properties ...
Although conventional plastics have several benefits that make them popular for packaging applications (e.g., excellent barrier properties, inexpensive, mature technology), post-use disposal of these polymers contributes to significant plastic waste generation that spills into the environment. To counter ...
