This book focuses on the polyolefin additives that are currently
important in the plastics industry, alongside new additives of
increasing interest, such as nanofillers and environmentally
sustainable materials. As much as possible, each chapter
emphasizes the performance of the additives in the polymer, and
the value each relevant additive brings to polypropylene or
polyethylene. Where possible, similar additives are compared by
capability and relative cost.

With major sections for each additive function, this book
provides a highly practical guide for engineers and scientists
creating and using polyolefin compounds, who will find in this
book a wealth of detail and practical guidance. This unique
resource will enable them to make practical decisions about the
use of the various additives, fillers, and reinforcements
specific to this family of materials.
