Additives for Plastics
3 DAY LECTURE/WORKSHOP
OFFERED ONCE:
July 14-16, 2008 (CRS# 00.719-021)
TUITION: $1195
OVERVIEW
This course presents information on the additives that are blended with polymers to improve the balance of properties and/or optimize the polymer for specific applications. Each additive will be considered individually. Major compounding processes will be demonstrated in the laboratory on small-scale commercial processing equipment.
