Publisher Description

Meet "stubborn as a mule" Skye: a precocious, hilarious, delightful yet exasperating four-year-old drama queen who lives in south Louisiana. When Skye was given a shiny new pair of red rubber boots, she fell in love with them. Skye insisted on wearing the boots day and night, for practically a whole year. Although Skye's mother wearily attempted to persuade her to wear shoes other than the boots, Skye absolutely refused. Skye knew she was driving her sweet mother to her wits' end, yet her boots made her feel so securely grounded that she stubbornly continued to wear them. Then one day something really scary happens, and everything changes in an instant!

There has been an increase in the development and production of new polymer blends and the preparation of compounds of polymers of carbon black, various fibers, and inorganic particles. These developments have led to a blending/compounding industry, which sits between the polymer producers and the manufacturers of shaped products such as injection molders. This book provides a broad-based examination of the characteristics of polymers blends and compounds, and the methods of preparing them in batch and continuous mixing equipment.
