Even the lowest value of LOI reported in Table 8 for the 4-/so-propylphe-noxy-substituted POP is still considerably higher than those of the most common organic polymers (17.4 for polyethylene, 17.8 for polystyrene and 18.3 for ABS rubber [283])... 

The major four-carbon feedstock molecules are 1,3-butadiene and isobutylene, both involved in the synthesis of many monomers and intermediates. Butadiene is copolymerized with styrene to form SBR and with acrylonitrile to form ABS rubbers. 

Polycarbonate is blended with a number of polymers including PET, PBT, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS) rubber, and styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymer. The blends have lower costs compared to polycarbonate and, in addition, show some property improvement. PET and PBT impart better chemical resistance and processability, ABS imparts improved processability, and SMA imparts better retention of properties on aging at high temperature. Poly(phenylene oxide) blended with high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) (polybutadiene-gra/f-polystyrene) has improved toughness and processability. The impact strength of polyamides is improved by blending with an ethylene copolymer or ABS rubber. 

Another promising field of application of Th-FFF is the investigation of gel/microgel mixtures with polymers as pioneered by Lee et al. [355,356], A major advantage is that for the Th-FFF experiment no filtration is required to endanger material loss. For example, microgels or particles which are problematic for SEC separations can be separated from a polymer, so that the major constituents of composites such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) rubber are quantitatively accessible.

There are several other routes to compatibil-izing polyamide/elastomer blends for the purpose of impact modification such as through the use of anhydride modified ABS rubbers [Baer, 1988], anhydride modified S-EB-S block [Gelles et al.,... 

Ethylbenzene (eth-il-BEN-zeen) is a colorless flammable liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon, that is, a compound consisting of carbon and hydrogen only with a molecular structure similar to that of benzene (C6H6). In 3004 it ranked fifteenth among chemicals produced in the United States. Its primary use is in the manufacture of another aromatic hydrocarbon, styrene (C6HSCH=CH2), widely used to make a number of polymers, such as polystyrene, styrene-butadiene latex, SBR rubber, and ABS rubber. 

In 1898 the first rubber factory based on the natural product, Suomen Gummitehdas Oy (later Oy Nokia Ab rubber factory), was set up to produce galoshes, i.e. overshoes. The firm specialized in rubber footwear and flourished. In 1926 it began to manufacture tyres for bicycles, and in 1934 tyres for cars. Two years later it introduced its own innovation, winter tyres for cars. The growth of the rubber industry was outstanding. In 1913, it employed over 90 employees and in 1938 as many as 2,570, or 82 per cent of the total workforce of the main chemical industry and 42 per cent of its output, as shown in table 1. Before the Winter War of 1939-40, rubber manufacturing was one of the three biggest chemistry-related branches of Finnish industry. ... 

Crazing caused in earfy plastic picnic ware by the cream layer on milk led to the replacement of polystyrene ly the more eaqrensive SAN copolymer. Margarine containers are made fiom ABS (rubber-toughened SAN) for similar reasons. Recent concerns about solvent crazing have centred mmnfy upon the effects of fuel and oils on plastic components in cars.

Antioxidant an-te- ak-so-dont, ian- tI- (1926) n. A substance that slows down the oxidation of oils, fats, etc., and thus helps to check deterioration antioxidants are added commercially to foods, soaps, etc. Although the term technically applies to molecules reacting with oxygen, it is often applied to molecules that protect from any free radical molecule with unpaired electrons. Chemistry encyclopedia, www. ChemistryAbout.com. A substance incorporated in a material to inhibit oxidation at normal or elevated temperatures. Antioxidants are used mainly with natural and synthetic rubbers, petroleum-based resins, and other such polymers that oxidize readily due to structural unsaturation. However, some thermoplastics, namely polypropylene, ABS, rubber-modified polystyrene, acrylic and vinyl resins, also require protection by antioxidants for some uses. There are two main classes (1) Those inhibit oxidation by reacting with chain-propagating radicals, such as hindered phenols that intercept free radicals. These are called primary antioxidants or free-radical scavengers. (2) Those decompose peroxide into non-radical and stable products examples are phosphates and various sulfur compounds, e.g., esters of thiodipropionic acid. These are referred... 

SB polymers are prepared by emulsion polymerization [136]. Molecular weight is controlled by the addition of a chain transfer agent. ABS rubber is produced in emulsion [137,138] or solution [139,140]. The polybutadiene is generally prepared separately, then the SAN copolymerization is started in presence of a certain amount of polybutadiene. Under certain conditions the rubber is grafted by the growing chain. Both products show very high stress resistance in contrast to pure PS.
