The 24 papers contained in this volume were originally presented at
Addcon World 2003: The 9th International Plastics and Modifiers
Conference, held in Vienna, Austria, October 21-22, 2003. They
address a wide range of technical advances and issues facing the plastics additives and modifiers
industry, including flame retardancy, market trends, software applications, process aids,
pigments, compatibilizers, stabilizers, and a series of four papers on nano-particles and fillers.
Target Audience: Any professional in industry or academia who is interested in the latest
developments in plastics additives and modifiers.
