Polymer composites are materials in which the matrix polymer is
reinforced with organic/inorganic fillers of a definite size and
shape, leading to enhanced performance of the resultant composite.
These materials find a wide number of applications in such diverse
fields as geotextiles, building, electronics, medical, packaging,
and automobiles.
This first systematic reference on the topic emphasizes the
characteristics and dimension of this reinforcement. The authors
are leading researchers in the field from academia, government,
industry, as well as private research institutions across the
globe, and adopt a practical approach here, covering such aspects
as the preparation, characterization, properties and theory of
polymer composites.
The book begins by discussing the state of the art, new
challenges, and opportunities of various polymer composite systems.
Interfacial characterization of the composites is discussed in
detail, as is the macro- and micromechanics of the composites.
Structure-property relationships in various composite systems are
explained with the help of theoretical models, while processing
techniques for various macro- to nanocomposite systems and the
influence of processing parameters on the properties of the
composite are reviewed in detail. The characterization of
microstructure, elastic, viscoelastic, static and dynamic
mechanical, thermal, tribological, rheological, optical, electrical
and barrier properties are highlighted, as well as their myriad
applications.
Divided into three volumes: Vol. 1. Macro- and Microcomposites;
Vol. 2. Nanocomposites; and Vol. 3. Biocomposites.
