Authored by Dr. Mostafa Ebrahim, this authoritative fifth volume provides formulators, process engineers, and sustainability professionals with a systematic framework for designing, validating, and deploying oxo-degradable additive technologies across polyethylene, polypropylene, and related commodity polymer platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manuscript addresses the complete lifecycle of oxo-modified plastics, from molecular mechanisms of thermo-oxidative and photo-oxidative degradation to masterbatch engineering, processing optimization, and end-of-life environmental behavior. Readers will find detailed guidance on transition metal catalyst selection (manganese, iron, cobalt, and advanced organometallic systems), antioxidant balancing strategies, dispersion techniques, and induction period calibration for diverse climatic and application contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructured to support both research and industrial deployment, the book includes validated formulation recipes for carry bags, agricultural mulch films, woven sacks, injection-molded articles, and flexible packaging. Each application example integrates extrusion parameters, additive dosing protocols, and quality control checkpoints aligned with ISO and ASTM test methodologies. Analytical chapters cover carbonyl index monitoring, molecular weight profiling, oxidation induction time measurement, and accelerated weathering correlation, essential tools for performance validation and regulatory substantiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritically, the work contextualizes oxo-technology within evolving regulatory landscapes, circular economy principles, and lifecycle assessment frameworks. It distinguishes oxidative fragmentation from verified biodegradation, addresses recyclability compatibility, and provides transparent guidance for environmental claim substantiation. Emerging topics, including sensor-enabled smart-degrading materials, bio-based hybrid strategies, and Industry 4.0 digital traceability, position the reader at the forefront of sustainable polymer innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended for polymer chemists, additive suppliers, converters, brand sustainability teams, and regulatory affairs professionals, this reference equips stakeholders to engineer degradation as a controlled, defensible, and application-specific material attribute, advancing responsible plastics stewardship through scientific rigor and industrial pragmatism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican Industrial Technologies LLC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mostafa Ebrahim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798233097843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Industrial Technologies LLC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.22d","brand":"Mostafa Ebrahim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50593502724351,"sku":"9798233097843","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oxo-degradable-additives-for-plastics-processing-mostafa-ebrahim-9798233097843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
