Books by J Scheirs

This new book provides an overview of the science and technology of pyrolysis of waste plastics. It describes: the types of plastics that are suitable for pyrolysis recycling; the mechanism of pyrolytic degradation of various plastics; characterization of the pyrolysis products; and details of commercially mature pyrolysis technologies.

A metallocene is an organometallic compound, in which the aromatic ring is attached to a metal atom. This book provides an overview of metallocene catalysts and metallocene-based polyolefins giving comprehensive coverage to all areas of metallocene technology.

Fluoropolymers have come a long way since the discovery of Teflon(TM) fifty years ago. This work describes the structure and properties of known fluoropolymers and their applications.

Modern Polyester Polymers provides an overview of the family of polyester polymers which comprise an important group of plastics that span the range of commodity polymers to engineering resins. It describes the preparation, properties and applications of polyesters.

In the field of styrene polymers, the oldest commercial thermoplastics, major advances have occurred over the years in the polymerization and structure of new generation polystyrenes that are broadening its scope of application. This book addresses the developments in this field.
