Project

Macromolecular Division (IV)

WORKING PARTY ON RECYCLING OF POLYMERS

Number: 410/24/93

Title: Terminology Related to Multi-Phase Polymer Composites and Blends

Coordinator(s): K. Horie and W.J. Work

Remarks: Collaboration with Commission IV.2

Completion Date: 2004 - project completed

Objective:
Polymer composites and blends have become very important industrially. It is widely recognised that most new polymer materials developed in the future will be a multi-phase composites and blends designed for specific needs. A wide range of conflicting terminology is used in the field regarding not only the structural description of these materials but also their formation and properties. This project is intended to provide definitions of terms that are widely used in describing this important area of polymer materials.

Progress:
Good progress has been made. Draft 11 of the document was sent to 35 experts in 1999 for their comments and extensive comments were received.

In March 2002, a final document was prepared for publication in Pure Appl. Chem. A draft is submitted to public review comments until 31 March 2003.
