Beschreibung

Demystifies the largest volume manmade synthetic polymer bydistillingthe fundamentals of what polyethylene is, how it's madeand processed,and what happens to it after its useful life is over.
Endorsement for Introduction to IndustrialPolyethylene
"I found this to be a straightforward, easy-to-read, and usefulintroductory text on polyethylene, which will be helpful forchemists, engineers, and students who need to learn more about thiscomplex topic. The author is a senior polyethylene specialist and Ibelieve we can all benefit from his distillation of knowledge andinsight to quickly grasp the key learnings."
--R.E. King III; Ciba Corporation (part of the BASFgroup)
Jargon used in industrial polyethylene technology can often bebewildering to newcomers. Introduction to IndustrialPolyethylene educates readers on terminology commonly used inthe industry and demystifies the chemistry of catalysts andcocatalysts employed in the manufacture of polyethylene.
This concise primer reviews the history of polyethylene andintroduces basic features and nomenclatures for this versatilepolymer. Catalysts and cocatalysts crucial to the production ofpolyethylene are discussed in the first few chapters. Latterchapters provide an introduction to the processes used tomanufacture polyethylene and discuss matters related to downstreamapplications of polyethylene such as rheology, additives,environmental issues, etc.
Providing industrial chemists and engineers a valuable referencetool that covers fundamental features of polyethylene technology,Introduction to Industrial Polyethylene:
* Identifies the fundamental types of polyethylene and how theydiffer.
* Lists markets, key fabrication methods, and the major producersof polyethylene.
* Provides biodegradable alternatives to polyethylene.
* Describes the processes used in the manufacture ofpolyethylene.
* Includes a thorough glossary, providing definitions of acronymsand abbreviations and also defines terms commonly used indiscussions of production and properties of polyethylene.
* Concludes with the future of industrial polyethylene.
