About the Book
Reactive modification of polymers is producing more and more complex, multicomponent systems. The challenge of life cycle control of these systems is greater than ever. Urgent demands are apparent for new, eco-efficient polymer blends, recycled, flame retarded and reinforced systems. Responding to this demand, the 2nd Conference on Modification, Degradation and Stabilization of Polymer (MoDeSt, Budapest, 2002) covered: The technological and mechanistic aspects of reactive processing, reprocessing, stabilization, interface modification and fire retardancy of (bio) polymers and (bio) composites; and Recognizing the common physical and chemical background of these fields. This volume of Macromolecular Symposia aims to increase the interaction and synergy of understanding between wide areas of reactive modification and stability of multicomponent polymeric materials.
