Toughened plastics are widely used in many diverse industries and form the basis for engineering plastics, structural adhesives, and matrices for fiber-composite materials. This volume was developed from a symposium and a workshop at the 200th National Meeting of the ACS, Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering, Washington, D.C., August 1990. Various contributions discuss aspects of the toughening of plastics such as the basic chemistry involved, the microstructure of the materials, the resulting mechanical properties, and applications of the toughened plastics.

This book gives a holistic picture on the application and resulting issues of plastics, that last a long time but at the same time remain a long time in the environment. It is intended to combine chemical fundamentals with value chain and regulatory aspects as well as risks. The text aims to provide inspiration for future material developments and concepts for material usage in the future that is more sustainable.
This book emphasizes the scientific origin of deformation and damage of FRP composites under various environmental effects and analyses present understanding on degradation mechanisms, role of interfaces and addition of nanofillers Discusses micro-characterization of composites and interfaces, also includes micro-mechanisms and microscopic evidences to establish the structure-property correlation Elucidates advantages and limitations of FRP composites in supercritical applications
Discusses new developments in the theoretical and practical approaches of toughness in thermosets and thermoplastics. Covers review and reports of world-recognized scientists on the latest advances in toughening science and technology. Provides a review of the principles of toughening and discusses synthetic approaches to the modification of plastics for scientists and engineers. Examines the applications of fracture mechanics and failure mechanisms in order to better understand and improve toughening. Details the effects of microstructure, morphology, and mechanical properties on performance of plastics.
This unique book aims to expose the reader to a wide range of phenomena occurring when soft matter systems are put under the influence of an external electric field. The book shows how an electric field can be used to affect objects at the submicron scale, and how it controls the phase behavior of liquids and polymers. The main focus is on the basic underlying mechanisms. Some technological applications are dealt with as well. Book chapters are arranged in a logical order, from OC simpleOCO systems to more complicated ones. In addition, each topic is covered by the mixed bag of theory, experiment and simulation; and this will give the reader a broad perspective of the underlying physical phenomena."
