Plastic Additives: An Introduction to Stabilizers, Functional and Biobased Additives
暫譯: 塑料添加劑：穩定劑、功能性及生物基添加劑概論

添加劑是塑膠配方中的重要組成部分，提供聚合物性能、表現及長期使用的維護和修改。本書提供了許多不同塑膠成分及其用途的信息，包括市場資訊、理論背景（如機制）、最先進的技術解決方案、應用和範例、協同作用和拮抗作用、風險及未來趨勢，涵蓋塑膠回收和生物基產品。

Rudolf Pfaendner studied chemistry at the University of Bayreuth in Germany and received his PhD in 1985 with a thesis on electrically conductive polymers. During 25 years he held different positions in R&D at the specialty chemicals company "Ciba" inter alia as Global Head of Research for the business segment "Plastic Additives" and as Senior Research Fellow. Rudolf is now Division Director Plastics of the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF and Honorary Professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. He has over thirty years of experience in polymer synthesis, plastics and coatings additives, stabilizers, recycling, reactive extrusion, nanocomposites, flame retardants and innovation management including numerous patents and publications.

魯道夫·帕芬德（Rudolf Pfaendner）在德國拜羅伊特大學（University of Bayreuth）學習化學，並於1985年獲得電導聚合物的博士學位。在25年的時間裡，他在特種化學品公司「Ciba」擔任不同的研發職位，包括「塑料添加劑」業務部門的全球研究負責人和高級研究員。魯道夫目前是德國弗勞恩霍夫結構耐久性與系統可靠性研究所（Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF）的塑料部門主任，以及達姆施塔特工業大學（Technical University of Darmstadt）的名譽教授。他在聚合物合成、塑料和塗料添加劑、穩定劑、回收、反應擠出、納米複合材料、阻燃劑和創新管理等領域擁有超過三十年的經驗，包括多項專利和出版物。
