This book gives a fresh point of view on the curing processes, structure and properties of crosslinked polymers. The general view is that the structure and properties of crosslinked polymers are defined by their density, this book demonstrates that the parameters are defined by …
Nanofibres are defined as fibres with diameters on the order of 100 nanometres. They can be produced by interfacial polymerisation and electrospinning. Nanofibres are included in garments, insulation and in energy storage. They are also used in medical applications, which includ…
High performance engineering plastics are used in a vast range of applications and environments. They are becoming increasingly important because of trends towards more reliable and higher performance machines and devices. This book aims at the development of a working knowledge…
"The assessment of all materials - and especially elastomeric and plastic components - for the presence of leachable and extractable components, forms an important part of the submission for approval of a new drug system or medical device. This Update gives a detailed, state-of-…
"Rosin is an abundantly available natural product composed of around 90% acidic and 10% neutral compounds. Rosin and its derivatives have long been used as tackifiers in adhesives. They have also found other niche applications in inks, varnishes, paints, sealing wax, some soaps,…

Nanomaterials are the study of how materials behave when their dimensions are reduced to the nanoscale. It can also refer to the materials themselves that are used in nanotechnology. Materials reduced to the nanoscale can suddenly show very different properties compared to what …
There has been an upsurge of interest recently in the use of metallic pigments. Metallic pigments are found in many objects that we use everyday from household items and sports goods to the coatings on scratch cards. Colour is one of the key factors that influences a customer bu…
This e-book focuses on the use of organic materials in fabricating plastic electronics (PE) for use in packaging applications. It looks at emerging developments in functional inks, substrates and printing processes for creating such devices as displays, RFID, power sources and s…
Both pigments and dyes are used to provide color to all sorts of substances and have been important to humans since the dawn of history. The difference between the two is that dyes are soluble in the substrate and thus disperse at a molecular level, while pigments are insoluble …
Although paper is traditionally seen as a more environmentally friendly material, it still requires significant resources of energy to produce and transport, let alone the space taken up in landfill, so reducing paper and board packaging waste is important. This study covers rec…
Pharmaceutical packaging can pose a serious problem for manufacturers. As legislation on the display of ingredients, side effects and safety warnings increases, the demands on the labelling and packaging become extreme. This can lead to pages of instructions and disclaimers incl…
The regulations and legislation for cosmetics packaging have tightened up significantly over the past few years. The demand from consumers and regulatory bodies for improved labelling and clarity has forced manufacturers to include more product information on packaging than ever…
With the market for implantable medical devices alone predicted to increase by over 10% this year, and with new innovations being developed all the time, the future of these products looks promising. However with this growth, the regulations surrounding their packaging are getti…
