Nano-Additive Modifier Now Comes in Concentrate

摘要

Hybrid Plastics,Hattiesburg,Miss.,is now making master-batches of its POSS (polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) nanochemicals.These hybrid organic/inorganic additives are cage-like molecules typically measuring 1.5 nanometers wide.They dissolve in a plastic melt and then recrystallize on cooling to form a network that can enhance mechanical properties and flame resistance.
