Polymer-Plasticizer Interaction

Nature volume 155, pages 164–166 (1945)Cite this article

Abstract

AT a meeting of the Plastics Group of the Society of Chemical Industry on November 17, 1944, polymer-plasticizer interaction was discussed. Owing to the wide range of the discussion and in view of topical interest in this subject, it has been thought desirable to present here a preliminary account which covers some of the points raised; more detailed papers will appear elsewhere. Some such general account seems to be overdue, as previous ideas on the subject would seem to need revision as a result of recent advances in polymer thermodynamics.
