Download or read book Recycled Polymers written by Vijay Kumar Thakur and published by Smithers Rapra. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymers constitute a separate area on the environmental issues. Due to the generation of excessive amounts of polymers wastes by industries and householders, the world has confronted a serious crisis. Furthermore, due to the rising environmental awareness, economical and petroleum concerns an increasing attempt is being made to cope with the polymers wastes during the last few years. The traditional methods used to dispose polymer wastes such as combustion of polymers wastes or burying underground show a negative influence on the environment.From the existing studies, it seems that the recycling process is one of the best techniques to treat the waste polymer products. Recycling of polymers through advanced techniques is an important topic that is driven by both the commercial and environmental influences. Several new techniques have been developed along with the means of reusing recycled polymers. Some of the commercially important technological processes for recycling of waste polymers include mechanical recycling, chemical or feedstock recycling and energy recovery. Keeping in mind the advantages of the recycled polymers, this book gives an overview of on properties and processing of different kinds of recycled polymers along with their composites for a range of applications. This book is unique in the sense that it deals exclusively with the properties and processing of different recycled polymers which are otherwise considered as waste.The book is the outcome of untiring efforts of the researchers from different parts of the world with extensive research experience in the field of recycled polymers across different disciplines. Some of the main features are:- Present state-of-the-art recycled polymers from different resources - Includes contributions from world renowned experts on recycled polymers - Discusses the properties and durability of recycled polymers based materials - Highlights new frontiers in the properties and applications of recycled polymers - Focus on recyclability and up-to date progress on recycled polymers - Effect of different parameters on properties of recycled polymers are presented - Solutions for widespread application are recommended - Current problems, recent developments and applications are discussed
Download or read book Recycled Polymers written by Vijay Kumar Thakur and published by Smithers Rapra. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing consumption of different kinds of polymer based materials results in huge amount of waste materials. Once the polymers have fulfilled the function for which they have been manufactured, they are disposed of in landills in large amounts each year, which is incompatible with current environmental goals. The disposal of polymer based plastics such as incineration and landfill results in environmental pollution and land occupation.These current levels of polymer disposal are not sustainable and polymer recycling, which is one of the most important actions currently available to reduce the negative impacts, receives increasing attention. Recycling provides opportunities to reduce oil usage, carbon dioxide emissions and the quantities of polymer wastes, as well as the negative impacts of disposal. Using recycled polymer wastes to replace virgin materials in some applications, such as non-food packaging and automotive components, can effectively decrease the demand of the amount of import oil and conserve raw materials. Further it can also lead to the energy saving and creating new jobs. Considering all the positive impacts of polymer recycling on environment, economy and society, considerable attention is being given to recover materials from polymer wastes.This book is ideal for all those who are interested in recycling of post-consumer polymer waste. It is the outcome of untiring efforts of the researchers with extensive experience in the field of recycled polymers. The book enables the reader to gain a thorough understanding of the chemistry and processing of recycled polymers and also provides an instrumental resource for those already working in this field.Some of the main features are:Highlights the chemistry of recycled polymers and compares with traditional polymersDiscusses the processing of different kinds of recycled polymersHighlights new frontiers in the different processing techniquesEvaluates the performance of recycled polymersFocus on recyclability and up-to date progress on recycled polymersPresent state of polymer recycling
