Abstract
High performance plastics often require high processing temperatures. However, at such temperatures organic molecules start to degrade. Additives to keep the polymer flowing in moulding applications are required to aid processing while preventing degradation. Dr. Chris DeArmitt and Dr. Paul Wheeler of Hybrid Plastics describe the advantages of the hybrid ceramic-organic structure of POSS additives that can provide thermal stability and the retention of mechanical properties.
