Polymer Nanocomposites Towards Multi-Functionality By: Aravind Dasari; Zhong-Zhen Yu; Yiu-Wing Mai Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9781447168072, 1447168070 eText ISBN: 9781447168096, 1447168097 Copyright year: 2016 Format: PDF Available from $ 169.00 USD SKU 9781447168096 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 Download eBook Free: https://ouo.io/1WM1FvU
