The initial number of doses being purchased under the new contract is
based on the Department of Homeland Security's threat assessment and the
interagency Weapons of Mass Destruction Medical Countermeasures Subcommittee's
evaluation of medical consequences of a radiological or nuclear incident . Understanding the thermal
degradation of polymers is of paramount importance for developing a
rational technology of polymer processing and higher-temperature

, for the manufacture and delivery of two medical
countermeasures for radiological or nuclear incidents.
The authors go on to discuss the thermal degradation of various
polymers, copolymers, high-performance plastics, blends and
composites, including polyolefins, styrene polymers, polyvinyl
chloride, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyesters, polyacrylates and
others.

molecule covalent

Chelators are
compounds that react with metals and form stable ionic complexes, allowing the
body to safely expel the metal-chelator complex.

This work summarises recent developments in the study of the
thermal degradation of polymers.
This book offers a wealth of information for polymer researchers
and processors requiring an understanding of the implications of
thermal degradation on material and product performance.
