Bart Jan C.J. Plastics Additives. Advanced Industrial Analysis

IOS Press, 2006. – 824 p.This book, containing an outline of the principles and characteristics of relevant instrumental techniques (without unnecessary detail), provides an in-depth overview of various aspects of direct additive analysis by focusing on a wide array of applications in R&D, production, quality control and technical service. The book describes the fundamental characteristics of the arsenal of techniques utilised industrially in direct relation to application in real-life polymer/additive analysis. Instrumental methods are categorised according to general deformulation principles with emphasis on promoting understanding and on effective problem solving. The chapters are replete with selected and more common applications illustrating why particular additives are analysed by a specific method. The value of the book stays in the applications.
In Plastics Additives: Advanced Industrial Analysis the author has attempted to bring together many recent developments in the field in order to provide the reader with valuable insight into current trends and thinking. For each individual technique more excellent textbooks are available, properly referenced, albeit with less focus on the analysis of additives in polymers.In-Polymer Spectroscopic Analysis of Additives
