Sustainable Additives in Polymer Technology provides a comprehensive guide to bio-based additives for polymers, balancing both fundamental and advanced information. The book aims to offer practical guidance for researchers and industry professionals on selecting, ranking, formulating, and applying these additives in polymer manufacturing. Each additive's role in the industry and its mechanisms of action are thoroughly covered, offering readers a complete understanding of their applications. The book is divided into several parts: an overview of bio-based additives, industrial and research developments, classification of materials, advantages and challenges, as well as the mechanisms of performance.
It also delves into the economic aspects and commercial grades of each additive family, concluding with future research directions and developments.
