This book deals with the polymers, different methods of synthesis,
and synthesis of composites, as well as the different techniques
used for polymer characterization. Most of the world's industries
extract the anomalous properties of polymers to make excellent
cost-effective materials. Because of this, the types of polymers,
their processing, and the analysis of their various properties are
very significant. Readers will gain a thorough knowledge about the
processing of different types of polymers and composites made from
them, as well as their various applications. Suitable for classroom
use but especially important for researchers, this book addresses:
Adhesion of amorphous polymers with vitrified bulk and surface
glass transition Functionalized biopolymers and their applications
A new synthesis of p-Cresol-Adipamide-Formaldehyde copolymer resin
and its applications as an ion-changer Correlating performance of
commercial viscosity modifiers for formulating shear stable
industrial lubricants Synthesis of phthalonitrile polymers in ionic
liquid and microwave media Studies on nanocomposite polymer
electrolytes doped with Ca3(PO4)2 for lithium batteries
This book presents a thorough discussion of the physics, biology,
chemistry and medicinal science behind a new and important area of
materials science and engineering: polymer nanocomposites. The
tremendous opportunities of polymer nanocomposites in the
biomedical field arise from their multitude of applications and
their ability to satisfy the vastly different functional
requirements for each of these applications. In the biomedical
field, a polymer nanocomposite system must meet certain design and
functional criteria, including biocompatibility, biodegradability,
mechanical properties, and, in some cases, aesthetic demands. The
content of this book builds on what has been learnt in elementary
courses about synthesising polymers, different nanoparticles,
polymer composites, biomedical requirements, uses of polymer
nanocomposites in medicine as well as medical devices and the major
mechanisms involved during each application. The impact of hybrid
nanofillers and synergistic composite mixtures which are used
extensively or show promising outcomes in the biomedical field are
also discussed. These novel materials vary from
inorganic/ceramic-reinforced nanocomposites for mechanical property
improvement to peptide-based nanomaterials, with the chemistry
designed to render the entire material biocompatible.
This book covers smart polymer nanocomposites with perspectives for
application in energy harvesting, as self-healing materials, or
shape memory materials. The book is application-oriented and
describes different types of polymer nanocomposites, such as
elastomeric composites, thermoplastic composites, or conductive
polymer composites. It outlines their potential for applications,
which would meet some of the most important challenges nowadays:
for harvesting energy, as materials with the capacity to self-heal,
or as materials memorizing a given shape.The book brings together
these different applications for the first time in one single
platform. Chapters are ordered both by the type of composites and
by the target applications. Readers will thus find a good overview,
facilitating a comparison of the different smart materials and
their applications. The book will appeal to scientists in the
fields of chemistry, material science and engineering, but also to
technologists and physicists, from graduate student level to
researcher and professional.

This book covers graphene reinforced polymers, which
are useful in electronic applications, including electrically
conductive thermoplastics composites, thermosets and elastomers. It
systematically introduces the reader to fundamental
aspects and leads over to actual applications, such as
sensor fabrication, electromagnetic interference shielding,
optoelectronics, superconductivity, or memory chips. The book also
describes dielectric and thermal behaviour of graphene polymer
composites - properties which are essential to consider for the
fabrication and production of these new electronic materials. The
contributions in this book critically discuss the actual
questions in the development and applications of graphene
polymer composites. It will thus appeal to chemists, physicists,
materials scientists as well as nano technologists, who are
interested in the properties of graphene polymer composites.
Advances in Polymer Science enjoys a longstanding tradition and
good reputation in its community. Each volume is dedicated to a
current topic and each review critically surveys one aspect of that
topic, to place it within the context of the volume. The volumes
typically summarize the significant developments of the last 5 to
10 years and discuss them critically, presenting selected examples,
explaining and illustrating the important principles and bringing
together many important references of primary literature. On that
basis, future research directions in the area can be discussed.
Advances in Polymer Science volumes thus are important references
for every polymer scientist, as well as for other scientists
interested in polymer science - as an introduction to a neighboring
field, or as a compilation of detailed information for the
specialist.
This book is the first comprehensive collection of electronic
aspects of different kinds of elastomer composites, including
combinations of synthetic, natural and thermoplastic elastomers
with different conducting fillers like metal nanoparticles, carbon
nanotubes, or graphenes, and many more. It covers elastomer
composites, which are useful in electronic applications, including
chemical and physical as well as material science aspects. The
presented elastomer composites have great potential for solving
emerging new material application requirements, for example as
flexible and wearable electronics. The book is structured and
organized by the rubber/elastomer type: each chapter describes a
different elastomer matrix and its composites. While introducing to
important fundamentals, it is application-oriented, discussing the
current issues and challenges in the field of elastomer composites.
This book will thus appeal to researchers and scientists, to
engineers and technologists, but also to graduate students, working
on elastomer composites, or on electronics engineering with the
composites, providing the readers with a sound introduction to the
field and solutions to both fundamental and applied problems.

Spectroscopy of Polymer Nanocomposites covers all aspects of the
spectroscopic characterization of polymer nanocomposites. More than
25 spectroscopy characterization techniques - almost all used in
materials science - are treated in the book, with discussion of
their potentialities and limitations. By comparing the techniques
with each other and presenting the techniques together with their
specific application areas, the book provides scientists and
engineers the information needed for solving specific problems and
choosing the right technique for analyzing the material structure.
From this, the dispersion structure of fillers, property relations
and filler-polymer interactions can be determined, and, ultimately,
the right materials can be chosen for the right applications.
Besides the techniques and structure-property relations, aspects
covered include: phase segregation of filler particles, filler
agglomeration and deagglomeration, filler dispersion,
filler-polymer interactions, surfaces and interfaces. The book also
examines recent developments, as well as unresolved issues and new
challenges, in the characterization of surfaces and interfaces in
polymer nanocomposites. This handpicked selection of topics, and
the combined expertise of contributors from industry, academia,
government and private research organizations across the globe,
make this survey an outstanding reference source for anyone
involved in the field of polymer nanocomposites in academia or
industry.
Biopolymer Composites in Electronics examines the current
