商品簡介
This volume collects current information about polystyrene and reviews the latest technological developments for its production. The 31 contributions characterize the synthesis and properties of polystyrene foams, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, syndiotactic polystyrene, styrenic block copolymers, and modified variants of polystryene. Topics include living free radical polymerization of styrene, increasing production rates of high molecular weight polystyrene, rubber particle formation in mass ABS, the fracture behavior of high- impact polystyrene, halogen-based compounds for flame-retardant polystyrene, and the photochemical degradation of styrenic polymers. Most of the contributors work for Dow Chemical or BASF. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
