    摘要: Circuit and to a process for managing transients and process and product anomalies in a plant for production of granulated expandable polymers EPS or extruded polymers XPS, said circuit being placed e.g. in a granulation plant along which are positioned: a mixing device suitable for mixing additives and expanding agent within a stream of molten polymer; a granulator or an extrusion device positioned downstream of said mixing device; a deviation valve suitable for molten polymers placed along the line connecting said mixing device to said granulator or to said extrusion device upstream of said granulator or extruder, said deviation valve being provided with at least one inlet (A), a Stand-by position (A→C) and a Run position (A→B), said circuit further comprising a heating device downstream of said valve, a separation device downstream of said heating device suitable for physically separating the blowing agent from the polymer and any additives present therein, and a cooling device positioned between said separation device and said mixing device.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a composition containing graphene and grafene nanoplatelets durably dispersed in a solvent. Said composition is characterized in that it contains at least 1% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the solvent, of a vinyl aromatic polymer and comprises a mass concentration of graphene and graphene nanoplatelets (GRS) ranging from 0.001% to 10% by weight with respect to the total weight of the solvent. The vinyl aromatic polymer present in the composition is obtained by partial or total polymerization of the relative vinyl aromatic monomer alone or mixed with up to 50% by weight of further copolymerizable monomers. The composition must satisfy the condition that the sum of the possible content of non-reacted monomers and the content of vinyl aromatic polymer formed is equal to at least 10% by weight with respect to the total weight of the solvent.
