Synopsis

Databook of Impact Modifiers provides key information on how to modify structure and morphology, improve mechanical performance, and prevent changes during the use of polymeric products through proper selection of impact modifiers. The book brings analyses of important publications found in open and patent literature, with special attention given to recent findings that have brought many new essential developments. Sections cover an analysis of chemical origin and related properties of impact modifiers, which are analyzed in general terms to highlight the differences in their properties.

This handbook contains the essential theoretical knowledge required for proper selection and use of impact modifiers, including their morphological structure and distribution in a polymer matrix, the effect of polymer crystallization in the presence of and without impact modifiers, important influences on impact modification, mechanisms of modification, and effective methods of incorporation of impact modifiers.

• Outlines strategies for modifying the structure and improving the mechanical properties of polymeric products through proper application of impact modifiers
• Provides detailed information on impact modifiers, including their morphological structure and distribution in a polymer matrix, the effects of polymer crystallization with and without impact modifiers, influences on impact modification, the mechanisms of modification, and more
• Includes analytical techniques, heath and safety and environmental considerations, and processing methods

From the Back Cover

This book is a must-have for manufacturers of impact modifiers and products containing impact modifiers, regulating bodies, academia, and research laboratories. It contains key information in numerous fields of application and for thousands of manufacturers and products, and serves as a wonderful complement to the Handbook of Impact Modifiers.

Impact modifiers are particularly recommended to increase mechanical properties, such as tensile, impact, flexural, stress whitening, stiffness, toughness, and fracture behavior, but they also influence adhesion, biodegradability, flammability, optical properties, thermal stability, and other properties of high-performance thermoplastic, polymer blends, and thermoset formulations. The information on over 300 impact modifiers is presented in individual tables for each product (either commercial or generic). The data are divided into 5 groups, including General Information, Physical Properties, Health and Safety, Ecological Properties, and Use and Performance. The following information is included in each section, if available in the source(s) of data:General Information: name, CAS #, EC #, IUPAC name, common name, common synonyms, acronym, empirical formula, chemical structure, molecular mass, RTECS number, chemical category, product class, product composition, masterbatch, blends, moisture content, solids content.

Physical Properties: state, odor, color, platinum-cobalt scale, bulk density, density, specific gravity, boiling point, melting point, pour point, decomposition temperature, glass transition temperature, main gas, refractive index, vapor pressure, vapor density, vapor thermal conductivity, volume resistivity, relative permittivity, ash content, pH, viscosity, absolute viscosity, flow properties, surface tension, solubility in solvents, solubility in water, the heat of combustion, the heat of decomposition, specific heat, thermal conductivity, Henry’s law constant, particle size, volatility, tensile strength, elongation, impact strength, and flexural modulus, tensile strength, toughness, optical properties (gloss, transparence), heat distortion properties, low temperature properties, glass transition temperature, weather resistance.

Health & Safety: NFPA classification, HMIS classification, OSHA hazard class, UN Risk phrases, UN Safety phrases, UN/NA class, DOT class, ADR/RIC class, ICAO/IATA class, IMDG class, packaging group, shipping name, food approvals, autoignition temperature, self-accelerating decomposition temperature, flash point, TLV ACGIH, NIOSH and OSHA, maximum exposure concentration IDLH, animal testing oral-rat, rabbit-dermal, mouse-oral, guinea pig-dermal, rat-dermal, rat-inhalation, mouse-inhalation, ingestion, skin irritation, eye irritation, inhalation, first aid eye, skin, and inhalation, carcinogenicity IARC, NTP, OSHA, ACGIH, and mutagenicity.

Ecological Properties: biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, theoretical oxygen demand, biodegradation probability, aquatic toxicity algae, Rainbow trout, Sheepshead minnow, Fathead minnow, and Daphnia magna, and partition coefficient.

Use & Performance: manufacturer, product features, recommended for polymers, recommended for products, outstanding properties, processing methods, concentration used, dispersion, and food approval.
