Beschreibungen/Notizen
Polymer nanocomposites are polymer matrices reinforced with nano-scale fillers. This new class of composite materials has shown improved mechanical and physical properties. This important book examines the characteristics of the main types of polymer nanocomposites, then reviews their diverse applications. Part One focuses on polymer/nanoparticle composites, their synthesis, optical properties and electrical conductivity. Part Two describes the electrical, dielectric and thermal behavior of polymer/nanoplatelet composites, whilst polymer/nanotube composites are the subject of Part Three. The processing and industrial applications of these nanocomposite materials are discussed in Part Four, including uses in fuel cells, bioimaging and sensors as well as the manufacture and applications of electrospun polymer nanocomposite fibers, nanostructured transition metal oxides, clay nanofiller/epoxy nanocomposites, hybrid epoxy-silica-rubber nanocomposites and other rubber-based nanocomposites. This book is a valuable reference tool for the research community and industry professionals in such areas as fuel cell, sensor and biomedical technology.
