“Polymers and Composites”, the educational contribution that cannot be missing in the daily practice of professionals who in various capacities operate in the plastics sector.
The work tells about the world of polymers, the way of producing them and qualifying them, with the ambition of encouraging the development of applications according to the expected performance expectations.
You can learn how to intervene on polymer matrices to adapt them to transformation technologies, with the aim of obtaining qualitatively and commercially competitive products, imposing adequate attention to the effects on the environment in the formulation interventions, while trying at the same time to transfer knowledge and affection for polymeric materials.
Notes on the author
Giovanni Antonio Canalini graduated in Industrial Chemistry in Bologna in 1965 where he began his professional activity as assistant to the chair of organic chemistry and then as full professor until 1970.
He held the role of head of the plastics laboratory and coordinator of the development of polymer applications at the petrochemical company of the Eni group.
He has developed and managed industrial companies in the “independent compounders” sector, cooperating with multinational companies in the sector, for some of which he held delegations on their board of directors.
He currently manages the SUPERLAB company, active in process and product innovation and in polymer “testing” for third parties.
He was President of the Association of Polymer Science and Technology (AIM) and, for several years, coordinator of the related technological commission.
He holds patents, has carried out teaching activities at institutions and universities as a contract professor and has presented readings and publications on plastic materials.
