Atlas of Plastics Additives describes the application of vibrational (FTIR, UV, Raman) and mass spectrometries and of other instrumental techniques for identification and structure elucidation of plastics additives, e.g., antioxidants, stabilisers, plasticisers, pigments, rubber chemicals.

The state of the art is compressed in numerous tables and figures; these also allow the interpretation of spectra. Especially remarkable is a collection of the FTIR spectra of 780 selected additives, together with structures and legends.

Atlas of Plastics Additives is an indispensable reference for practitioners in plastics production, plastics processing, plastics additives; researchers in the area of polymer degradation, spectroscopists.
