HEAVY PLASTIC

摘要

A polymeric composition composed of polymeric material and at least one additive. The polymeric material is at least one of polymeric precursor material or a melt processible polymeric material. The additive is complexed with the polymeric material and is an inorganic or organo-inorganic complex that is integrated into at least a portion of the polymeric chains in the polymeric composition. The additive may be at least one of oxide glass compounds or halogenated post-transition metal compounds and is present in an amount sufficient to increase the material weight without unduly compromising optical qualities such as transparency to visible light. The polymeric composition can be provided in melt processible form to be used to produce articles such as drinking glasses and the like. The composition can be produced by processes such as dispersion by polymerization of the monomers producing the desired polymeric material in the presence of the additive.
