17 The ongoing drive for stability Today’s increasingly demanding market needs and applications are pushing compounders towards new higher performance thermal and UV stabilisation solutions, writes Mark Holmes.
33 Polymer pigments get functional Pigment technology continues to bring new and exciting colours and effects to plastics. However, Mark Holmes finds that additional benefits in terms of performance and production are now being offered.
45 Putting plastics to the test Testing equipment manufacturers are exploiting the benefits offered by the latest electronic advances to keep pace with developments in plastics materials testing and qualification, writes Peter Mapleston.
57 Flow holds key to CNT dispersion Researchers at OCSiAL have produced electrically conductive PE/SWCNT composites with ultralow percolation thresholds by optimised dispersion through flow modification. We summarise the findings.
63 CNTs spell the finish for primer New work carried out at Nanocyl shows that conductive compounds containing MWCNTs can be more cost effective than use of conductive primers for painting plastic car body parts. Dr Marie Hurtgen and Michaël Claes explain why.

K2016 preview: Polymers and additives Part 1 of our K2016 preview coverage takes a look at the new material and additive innovations planned for the Dusseldorf show. Over 14 pages we take detail the new polymers, compounds, flame retardants, compatibilisers and pigments that will be of interest to compounders.
