Polymer Nanocomposites Handbook

Reflecting the exceptional growth in the use of nanostructured materials for an increasing range of industrial applications, Polymer Nanocomposites Handbook comprehensively covers the synthesis of both nanomaterials that act as the building blocks of polymer nanocomposites and polymers that act as matrix materials. It examines molecular precursors and related challenges for large-scale manufacturing, current processing techniques, and the difficulty in obtaining good dispersion. Discussing future applications in civilian and defense-related fields, the book presents methods to characterize the bulk and interfacial structure of polymer nanocomposites.
