GHB is a substance naturally produced in the body, that is nonaddictive and proven safe, yet FDA and media hype have prevented the public from reaping its benefits. Over 30 years of clinical studies in Europe have shown that GHB can help improve sleep, encourage weight loss and muscle strength, break alcohol and drug dependency, enhance mood, improve sex, and possibly prolong life. In this book, the authors set the record straight, explaining the proven benefits GHB. Photos &amp; illustrations.

This report provides an overview of the current status of the foam industry. The implications of the Montreal Protocol for blowing agents and for foam production are discussed. The different polymeric foams are considered individually with discussion of key properties, material and processing development and end-use applications. The impact of other environmental influences is also examined, with discussion of waste recovery issues such as the Packaging Waste Directive and the End-of-Life Vehicle Directive.

Much has happened recently in the field of waste management and this has had a strong impact on the handling of used tyres. This report provides up-to-date data and comment about the progress in the UK, Europe and North America in the handling of the problem of used tyres once removed from vehicles. Legislation in Europe is concentrating the minds of authorities and operators alike, to provide sustainable solutions to the recovery and recycling of these tyres and to maximise the benefit from such activity.

This book is an updated and expanded version of the course notes for the Composite Awareness course run by the Warwick Manufacturing Group in 1998-1999. The book gives readers an appreciation of composites, materials properties, manufacturing technologies and the wider implications of using composites in the automotive sector. It will be useful for those already working with composites in automotive applications and for those who are considering using them in the future.

Polypropylene is now the third largest consumed plastic material after polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. This book discusses the advantages and disadvantages of working with polypropylene, offering practical comment on the available types of polypropylene, its mechanical properties and in-service performance, and processing. This book is packed with useful information about polypropylene. Comparisons with other common plastics are also provided, which highlight the advantages of this polyolefin.

In this report, the author reviews the huge range of sports-related products from playing surfaces to footwear and clothing. He notes how changing performance, usually for the better, and the need to supplement the rules of the game to ensure consistency when a variety of materials and designs may be in use has led to an increase in testing and specification. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.

Silicone elastomers are important materials for many application areas such as automotive, electric and electronics, domestic appliances and medical. They are increasingly being used to substitute for organic rubbers, because of their advantageous properties. This is a very comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in silicone elastomers. It deals with the advantages of using silicone rubbers, such as high temperature and chemical resistance, pigmentability and transparency, combined with good electrical properties. It describes processing by extrusion, injection moulding and calendering, and the use of silicones in flexible and rigid mould making. The key issues concerning the processing of silicones are addressed here. The key material types and the nomenclature used to describe silicones are explained. Room temperature vulcanised (RTV), high temperature vulcanised (HTV) and liquid silicone rubbers (LSR) are all discussed. Speciality silicones are continually being developed to meet specific application requirements, for example, standard silicone is a good electrical insulator and is used in cable coverings, however, conductive silicones are now available. These new grades of silicones are described and compared to standard grades for key performance issues. This review is packed with details on specific silicone materials, containing over 50 tables of information together with useful graphs. It is much longer than the usual reviews in this series. The review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from the Rapra Abstracts database, to facilitate further reading on this subject. Key features… * Applications  * Property requirements of applications * Properties of standard and speciality elastomers * Basic chemistry * Curing * Processing * Useful tables of data
