Overview
- Addresses the class of polymers with the largest use in polymer production: polyolefins
- Discusses industrial applications of polyolefins from the research perspective
- Comprises applications from a wide range of industry sectors: from the textile industry, over the packaging and food industry, and biomedical applications, to automotive and buildings
- Summarizes the entire "lifetime" of polyolefin compounds and substrates: starting from the synthesis and processing, over applications, to the recycling and reuse
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials (SSPCM)

About this book
The spectrum comprises a wide range of applications and industry sectors, such as the packaging and food industry, the textile industry, automotive and buildings, and even biomedical applications. Topics, which are addressed in the various chapters, comprise synthesis and processing of the materials; their classification; mechanical, physical and technical requirements and properties; their characterization; and many more. In the end of the book, even the disposal, degradation and recycling of polyolefins are addressed, and light is shed on their commercial significance and economic value.
In this way, the book follows the entire 'lifetime' of polyolefin compounds and materials: from their synthesis and processing, over applications, to the recycling and reuse of disposed or degraded polyolefin substrates.
