Description
Description
Handbook of Fillers, Volume 2, Sixth Edition covers the applications of fillers, analyzing the effects of fillers on the mechanical properties of filled materials, their effects on rheological properties, the implications of them on the morphology of filled systems, the organization of interface and matrix-containing systems, and the effect of fillers on the durability of materials exposed to different environments as well as their flammability. The book also discusses the technical aspects and benefits of filler incorporation, as well as their applications in different products, such as polymers, blends, alloys, interpenetration networks, composites, and laminates. Methods of processing are outlined as well. This 6th edition has been split into 2 volumes, this volume covering applications, and the first volume covering properties. Each volume is complementary and required for the understanding and implementing the benefits of filler use.
