Many cellular plastics that have not reached significant commercial use have been introduced or their manufacture described in Hterature. Examples of such polymers are chlorinated or chlorosulfonated polyethylene, a copolymer of vinyUdene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, polyamides (4), polytetrafluoroethylene (5), styrene—acrylonitrile copolymers (6,7), polyimides (8), and ethylene—propylene copolymers (9). 

The use of TAG as a curing agent continues to grow for polyolefins and olefin copolymer plastics and mbbers. Examples include polyethylene (109), chlorosulfonated polyethylene (110), polypropylene (111), ethylene—vinyl acetate (112), ethylene—propylene copolymer (113), acrylonitrile copolymers (114), and methylstyrene polymers (115). In ethylene—propylene copolymer mbber compositions. TAG has been used for injection molding of fenders (116). Unsaturated elastomers, such as EPDM, cross link with TAG by hydrogen abstraction and addition to double bonds in the presence of peroxyketal catalysts (117) (see Elastol rs, synthetic). 

In addition to polystyrene and high-impact polystyrene there are other important styrene-based plastics. Most important of these is ABS, with a global capacity of about 5 X 10 t.p.a. and production of about 3 X 10 t.p.a. The styrenic PPO materials reviewed in Chapter 21 have capaeity and production figures about one-tenth those for ABS. Data for the more specialised styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers are difficult to obtain but consumption estimates for Western Europe in the early 1990s were a little over 60000 t.p.a. 

To control compatibility and other properties of butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers with PVC, there is an optimum acrylonitrile content of 37%. For practical handling, the nitrile rubber is treated on rolls at normal temperatures, and afterwards the mixture is rolled with PVC at elevated temperatures. The reverse process—plasticizing PVC first and mixing with nitrile rubber afterwards—is not so favorable because discoloring and decomposition may occur. This can be avoided by simultaneously applying the liquid plasticizers. Nitrile content in-... 

Nevertheless, it would seem reasonable that, in the absence of any liquid plasticizer medium at all, mobility of ionic impurities would be reduced to such a low level that volume resistivity would remain high. For example, it is well known that polyvinyl chloride can be blended with nitrile rubber, such as Goodrich Hycar 1032 butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymer, and such polyblends are quite soft and flexible without the use of any liquid plasticizer at all (Table VII). 

Of the styrene copolymers used for food packaging the styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer known as SAN still needs to be mentioned. SAN copolymers possess better mechanical properties and better resistance to oils and aroma compounds than PS. Copolymers with acrylonitrile fractions of 20-35 % find uses as household and camping dishes. Copolymers with a higher acrylonitrile content (> 60%) have earned particular importance as barrier plastics. With an increasing acrylonitrile fraction, the gas permeability decreases sharply. 

Copolymers of styrene include a large group of random, graft, and block copolymers. Those with a high proportion of acrylonitrile used in barrier films as well as others such as methacrylic-butadiene-styrene copolymer (MBS) plastic is used as modifiers in PVC, SAN, ABS, ASA, etc. The styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) is the most important when considering volume and number of applications. 

World consumers used 215 billion lb of the five most commonly used plastics in 1996.119 This included 41% polyethylene, 23% polyvinyl chloride, 21% polypropylene, 11% polystyrene, and 4% styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers. The world production of polyethylene tereph-thalate in 1996 was 9.8 billion lb. The United States plastics use in 1995 was 71.2 billion lb, of which 27% was used... 

Thermoplastics are plastics which undergo a softening when heated to a particular temperature. This thermoplastic behaviour is a consequence of the absence of covalent bonds between the polymeric chains, which remain as practically independent units linked only by weak electrostatic forces (Figure 1.4(a)). Therefore, waste thermoplastics can be easily reprocessed by heating and forming into a new shape. From a commercial point of view, the most important thermoplastics are high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene tereph-thalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), and styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN).

Since cellophane cannot melt, it is not heat-sealable. The many hydroxyl groups that it contains make it sensitive to water. It will not dissolve, but its properties can change markedly on exposure to moisture. For both these reasons, cellophane used in packaging is generally coated. Common types of coatings include vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile copolymers, polyolefins, and mixtures of cellulose nitrate, wax, and resin. It may also have plasticizers added to improve its flexibility. 

The term styrenic describes the family of major plastic products that use styrene as their key building-block PS, expanded polystyrene (EPS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and unsaturated polyester resin (UP). Among these, UP is the only thermoset and will...

Styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers are produced commercially for use as structural plastics. The typical acrylonitrile content in such resins is between 20-30%. These materials have better solvent and oil resistance than polystyrene and a higher softening point. In addition, they exhibit better resistance to cracking and crazing and an enhanced impact strength. Although the acrylonitrile copolymers have enhanced properties over polystyrene, they are still inadequate for many applications. Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymers, known as ABS resins, were therefore developed.

Some results, which were considered supporting the lubricity theory, were also found Verhoek, who measured vapor pressures of plasticizers in polymers, found that plasticizers reduce solvent retention, which was considered to support these theories (plasticizers fill voids and so they exclude solvents). Rententivity and permeability of cellulose acetate plasticized with different sulfonamides, phthalates and phosphates, were measured by Kirkpatrick who concluded that these properties depended on the attractive forces resulting between the plasticizer and the polymer. Houwink measured swelling of some butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers with different acrylonitrile content when these were mixed with solvents of different polarities, and proved the importance of the polarity of the plasticizer and the polymer. Moreover, Houwink measured the brittle point of ethyl...
