Abstract
The properties of polymers may be improved by the presence of appropriately selected additives. With the exception of some cast plastics, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and some fibers, such as unpigmented cotton, most commercial polymers are mixtures of the polymer with one or more additives.
