Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Biodegradable Products: Nature-Compounds
Biodegradable Products: Nature-Compounds Biodegradable plastics can replace conventional plastic products in short-lived applications such as fast-food packaging. Novel materials that have been optimised for extrusion and injection moulding meet practical requirements for ease of processing and functionality. Biodegradable plastics that are made from renewable raw materials and can be thrown into organic-waste bins are a “natural” way of conserving resources and cutting costs. They are parti...

Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Morphology and Mechanical Properties: Blends of Polyamide 66 and Syndiotactic Polystyrene
Blends Blends of Polyamide 66 and Syndiotactic Polystyrene Morphology and Mechanical Properties. Blends of polyamide 66 and syndiotactic polystyrene only display enhanced mechanical properties if good compatibility exists between the two materials and an optimum morphology can be achieved. Different compositions of these blends were investigated in a study employing a compatibility enhancer. Materials of this type are attractive for the production of automotive components that are exposed to hi...

...art surface is possible. The development work on this two stage heating was based on a cup shaped test molding (diameter 69 mm, height 75 mm) which was produced using a plug assisted negative thermoforming process. A high impact polystyrene (grade: Polystyrol 486 M, manufacturer: Styrolution GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) was used for the trials. In non-linear stretching tests the semifinished part with thicknesses between 850 and 1,000 µm produced from this displayed a clear temperature depe...

...ed their new “Styropor” material at the plastics exhibition in 1952. Everything began with a 15 cm long toy ship that weighed just 5 grams thanks to the new material’s density of 25 g/l. Meanwhile, the success story of expandable polystyrol (EPS) has continued for 60 years, whereby today’s global demand of some 5 million tons was certainly not foreseeable at that time [1]. In the 1970s and 1980s, EPS was succeeded by polymer foam beads based on polyolefin, which – due to their good shock absorbi...

These include the German PS foam industry associations, the FPX trade association (Fachvereinigung Polystyrol-Extruderschaumstoff), and the German rigid foam industrial association (Industrieverband Hartschaum IVH), plus numerous end users including Dow with their XPS plants [10−13].In Japan, the polymeric flame retardant is being used in XPS foam since 2014, f...
