Description
xThis book extensively reviews Polypropylene (PP), the second most widely produced thermoplastic material, having been produced for over 60 years. Its synthesis, processing and application are still accompanied by vigorous R&D developments because the properties of PP are at the borderline between those of commodity and engineering thermoplastics.
Readers are introduced to various tacticities and polymorphs of PP, and their effects on structural properties. Further, the book addresses the control of optical properties using nucleants, provides strategies for overcoming the limited cold/impact resistance of PP, examines in detail the effects of recycling, and presents guidelines for the property modification of PPs through foaming, filling and reinforcing with respect to target applications. Special attention is paid to descriptions and models of properties as a function of morphological variables. Last but not least, the book suggests potential practical applications of PP-based systems, especially in the packaging, appliances, building/construction, textile and automotive sectors.
Each chapter, written by internationally respected scientists, reflects the current state-of-art in the respective field and offers a vital source of information for students, researchers and engineers interested in the morphology, properties, testing and modeling of PP and PP-based systems. The content is indispensable to the appropriate application of PPs and related composites.

xJsef Karger-Kocsis (Mar 4, 1950 - Dec 13, 2018) was a professor at the Department of Polymer Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) since 2009. He received his MSc in Chemical Engineering in 1974, and his Dr.techn. in 1977. In 1983 he received his PhD in chemical sciences from the Moscow, Lomonossow Institute of Fine Chemicals Technology, his DSc from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1991, and in 1995 the Universit舩 Kaiserslautern, Germany, granted him the Dr.-Ing. Habil title.
During his career he also worked at the Research Institute for the Plastics Industry, and Taurus Hungarian Rubber Works, both in Budapest, Hungary; for the TUHH in Hamburg and for the Institute for Composite Materials in Kaiserslautern, both in Germany; and for the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, South Africa.
Professor Karger-Kocsis has been awarded many prizes, acknowledgements and scholarships, and has more than 500 publications. For his complete CV please refer to the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (the website of the Department of Polymer Engineering, BME).
