Glass Bubble technology has taken strong leaps in achieving high "strength to density ratio" which now enables their use in demanding polymer processing operations for various plastic and rubber parts and applications. Also, because light weighting and structural strengthening can be achieved with Glass Bubbles, this technology is of eminent importance for improving sustainability. For those reasons Glass Bubble technology is quickly penetrating various end-use applications in a wide range of industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, Building and Construction, Electronics, Medical, Consumer Goods, and the off-shore Oil industry.

The sparse literature which exists about Glass Bubbles is in the form of papers and short chapters and covers rather theoretical aspects. Glass Bubbles for Plastics, Elastomers, and Adhesives for the first time gathers in one book all practical and theoretical aspects of Glass Bubble manufacturing, properties, processing, applications as well as regulatory, environmental, and health and safety aspects.

The book enables the reader to evaluate the applicability of Glass Bubbles to various applications involving polymers in thermoplastics, elastomers, liquid thermosets and adhesives. It is therefore an indispensible guide for material selection and improving sustainability of products. Related data sets and case studies complement the book - making it a reference book for plastics processors, product designers and engineers working with plastics and elastomers who want to improve functionality and performance make their products lighter, longer lasting and stronger, reduce amounts of material used and decrease costs.

R2,877 Discovery Miles 28 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents the most recent description of rubber reinforcement, focusing on the network-like structure formation of nanofiller in the rubber matrix under the presence of bound rubber. The resultant filler network is visualized by electron tomography applied to rubber. In the case of natural rubber, the self-reinforcement effect is uniquely functioning, and new template crystallization is suggested. Here, the crystallites are also believed to arrange themselves in a network-like manner. These results are of great use, particularly for engineers, in designing rubber reinforcement.
