_Handbook 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 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.
