Sustainable Additives in Polymer Technology

by Henri Vahabi (Editor), Mohammad Reza Saeb (Editor)

Overview

Sustainable Additives in Polymer Technology provides a comprehensive guide to bio-based additives for polymers, balancing both fundamental and advanced information. The book aims to offer practical guidance for researchers and industry professionals on selecting, ranking, formulating, and applying these additives in polymer manufacturing. Each additive's role in the industry and its mechanisms of action are thoroughly covered, offering readers a complete understanding of their applications. The book is divided into several parts: an overview of bio-based additives, industrial and research developments, classification of materials, advantages and challenges, as well as the mechanisms of performance.It also delves into the economic aspects and commercial grades of each additive family, concluding with future research directions and developments. - Analyzes a wide range of sustainable additives, their current use in industry, and potential future applications - Explores the selection criteria of bio-based additives for the sustainable development of polymer materials based on their physico-chemical properties - Provides practical guidance on how to select, rank, formulate, and apply bio-based additives in polymer manufacturing processes

About the Author

Prof. Henri Vahabi received his Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Montpellier, France, in 2011. He is currently a Full Professor at the University of Lorraine, France. His research is focused on thermal degradation, flame retardancy of thermosets and thermoplastics, and the development of innovative flame-retardant systems. Prof. Vahabi has authored over 170 articles in ISI-indexed journals and has edited four books. Furthermore, he serves as a committee member of the "Fire Group" within the Chemical Society of France and holds the position of Associate Editor for the Polymers from Renewable Resources journal.
Dr. Mohammad Reza Saeb received his PhD in 2008 from Amirkabir University of Technology (Iran) and is currently a Professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Medical University of Gdańsk (Poland). His research focuses on advanced materials and manufacturing processes, including polymer blends, composites, and nanocomposites, with particular emphasis on biomaterials and flame-retardant polymers, as well as the recycling and upcycling of polymer and biowastes. He has authored or co-authored more than 500 articles in high-impact journals and is currently serving as the Editor-in-Chief of Polymers from Renewable Resources, published by SAGE.
