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.
