This highlights ongoing research efforts on different aspects of polymer nanocomposites and explores their potentials to exhibit multi-functional properties. In this context, it addresses both fundamental and advanced concepts, while delineating the parameters and mechanisms responsible for these potentials. Aspects considered include embrittlement/toughness; wear/scratch behaviour; thermal stability and flame retardancy; barrier, electrical and thermal conductivity; and optical and magnetic properties.
Further, the book was written
as a coherent unit rather than a collection of chapters on different
topics. As such, the
results, analyses and discussions presented herein provide a guide for the
development of a new class of multi-functional nanocomposites. Offering an
invaluable resource for materials researchers and postgraduate students in the
polymer composites field, they
will also greatly benefit materials engineers.
