Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 12, 2009

Smithers Rapra Publishing has released a book entitled 'Update on Degradation and Stabilisation of Aromatic Polyesters'.

This book provides a survey of the degradation and stabilisation processes specific to aromatic polyesters, including thermal, thermo-oxidative, chemical, light and radiation degradation and stabilisation.

Current knowledge of all these aspects is discussed and analysed and some suggestions are made as to further studies that might advance the subject.

Materials covered include polyesters such as poly (ethylene terephthalate), poly (butylene terephthalate), poly (alkylene naphthalate), liquid crystalline polyesters and poly (trimethyleneterephthalate).

Also covered are the various means of chemically recycling aromatic polyesters into their starting materials and/or other chemical feedstock, including current research into improvements in chemistry and the economics of such processes, as well as information on commercial enterprises carrying out such recycling.
