Statistical data treatment. 330 $aThis book presents the state of the art on the weathering of polymers and plastic materials in outdoor applications, comprising natural weathering, accelerated climatic weathering, laboratory artificial accelerated weathering, and lifetime prediction methodology. It summarizes the most suitable methods of instrumental analysis to access and quantify (when possible) degradation caused by weathering, while also covering the degradation and stabilization of polymers based on environmental and artificially induced factors. Innovative polymer additives and some developments in polymeric materials designed for outdoor applications are also included, emphasizing a few selected cases. The book intends to be an important reference source for those involved in the study of the durability of polymers and plastics, production of plastics for exterior applications, chemists responsible for quality control of plastic products, and researchers and students across plastics engineering, polymer science, polymer chemistry and environmental science. 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aSustainability 606 $aChemical engineering 606 $aBuilding Materials 606 $aSustainability 606 $aChemical Engineering 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aChemical engineering. 615 14$aBuilding Materials. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aChemical Engineering. 676 $a620.1920422 700 $aReal$b Luís Eduardo Pimentel$01267561 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739486303321 996 $aWeathering of Polymers and Plastic Materials$93554605 997 $aUNINA
