Download or read book Advanced polymer and smart polymer materials in major domestic appliance design written by David John Heath and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We review the new developments in polymer materials in terms of their potential for creating product differentiation and in addressing some of the problems facing the appliance industry including the need to reduce costs, maintain innovation and address changing consumer preferences while respondingto increasing environmental constrains. Engineering polymers and polymer-based composites are providing manufactures of domestic appliances with a great deal of flexibility and potential for innovation in design. At the cutting edge of polymer, research is the development of nano-structured polymer hybrid materials, nano-engineered polymers, and so called smart or functional polymers. This report shows how these advanced polymer based materials are blurring the traditional distinctive properties of plastics and metals by mimicking their properties in terms of strength and even thermal andelectrical conductivity, while retaining the inherent beneficial propertiesof polymers like flexibility, mouldability, and better strength to weight ratios. The ultimate aim of many polymer engineers is therefore to construct so-called ĆsmartĆ (adaptive) polymeric materials that can sense and respond to environmental stimulus. Such functionality can offer a myriad of design opportunities to innovative appliance manufactures seeking product differentiation through smart functions.

Download or read book Green Fire Retardants for Polymeric Materials written by Pingan Song and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the polymers we use every day are highly flammable. Historically, a large number of home fires were caused by ignited polymeric materials until legislation was introduced requiring fire retardants to be added to these materials. Fire retardants increase the time it takes for materials to ignite, providing valuable time to prevent a fire or escape. However, it has become apparent that many of the traditional treatments used as fire retardants are harmful to human health and highly persistent in the environment. With evermore polymeric materials in our homes and lives it is still highly valuable to be able to make fire retardants, but consideration must be given to their environmental impact and sustainability. Green Fire Retardants for Polymeric Materials looks at both the choice of different materials and treatments for improving the fire retardancy of polymeric materials, as well as green approaches to synthesising these fire retardants. It is a timely resource both for green chemists interested in real world applications for their work and polymer scientists keen to increase the sustainability of their products and processes.
Download or read book Biorelated Polymers written by Emo Chiellini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes papers on polymeric materials from renewable resources known as `Biorelated Polymers and Plastics', and issues are bound to their utilization and environmental impact in their production, conversions to manufacts and ultimate disposal of post-costume manufacts. Modern industrial developments inspired by the new concepts of sustainability and ecocompatibility require a deeper attention to renewable resources as a new-old source of raw material and feedback. This new trend, occurring not only in industrialized countries but also in emerging countries and countries in transition, thoroughly permeates the polymer and plastic industry, due to the big impact that those materials have on the modern way of life. Plastic waste, specifically that stemming from segments of packaging, containers for solids and liquids and single use items, is attracting much effort from municipality officers, producers and converters, aimed at finding a harmonized solution among the various options available for their appropriate management. In this respect, polymeric materials of natural origin (biopolymers), as well as materials from renewable resources useable for the production of monomeric precursors, or semi-synthetic polymeric materials, constitute a focal point for future industrial development in the production of polymers and plastics. The present book contains much valuable information and scientific hints on a modern approach aimed at designing processes and products with minimal negative environmental impact.
