diene rubbers, antiradical activity of different antioxidants
depending on pH and polarity of model system detected by a
photochemilumin scence method, the interlayer spacing and
elasticity modulus interconnection for nanocomposites
polymer/organoclay.
The interest in polymer composites study is due to an even greater
degree of their application. The filling by hard disperse
particulates or fibres gives to polymers a desirable properties
number: increases stiffness, reduces thermal expansion coefficient,
rises resistance to yield and fracture toughness and so on.
Difficulties in research of structure-properties relationships for
polymer composites are due to their structure complexity. So, on
the elasticity modulus value besides composition a polymer-filler
interaction influences. In other words, it is clear even
intuitively that for the complete description of such
structurally-complex objects as polymer composites it is necessary
to account for three groups of factors, namely, polymeric matrix
structure, filler structure and level of interaction between them.
Up to now the researches of such kind were carried out within the
frameworks of continuous mechanics and thermodynamic conceptions.
However, these conceptions application does not allow to describe
satisfactorily and all the more to predict such materials
properties. As a matter of fact, an experimental data set dictates
the choice of either structure physical model for macroscopic
properties description.

catalysis with nickel (II) complexes in toluene and cumene
oxidations by dioxygen; the effect of two oxazoles on membrane
lipid structure of liver microsomes calculations of bond energy and
the structure and properties of polymer adsorption layers on

Nanotechnology has continuously evolved sharing with past
technologies the same approaches to science policy, therefore, it
is problematic to consider nanotechnology as a radical change in
the development of technology. This book offers an overview of
structure--property relationships, synthesis and purification, and
potential applications of electrospun nanofibres and nanotubes. The
collection of topics in this book aims to reflect the diversity of
recent advances in nanotechnology with a broad perspective which
will be useful for scientists as well as for graduate students and
engineers.

Nanotechnologies development in various directions of science and
engineering represents one of the most high-priority problems of
modern science. One of such directions is the development and
research of polymer nanocomposites with filler from nanoparticles
and nanotubes possessing the increased strength and
flame-resistance. In the last decade in the world literature a
large amount of works have appeared which are dedicated both to
technological and fundamental problems of polymer nanocomposites
creation. The main part of these works adduced studies of polymer
nanocomposites structure and properties, in which as filler
organoclays with particles size of nanometre scale (for example,
Na+-montmorillonite) were applied as a filler. Key studies in this
field mainly use various kinds of modifications of large
micromechanical models, created at one time for the description of
polymer composites properties in general. These modifications are
cumbersome enough, and mainly use complex computer technologies and
although with their help convincing enough results were obtained,
one should pay attention on their narrowness. In present quite many
classes of polymer nanocomposites are obtained, having different
reinforcement mechanisms, but the general ones in the sense, that
these mechanisms are realised at the expense of introduction in
polymer matrix particles of nanometre sizes. As it is known, the
main peculiarity of such particles is a sharply increased
polymer-filler contact area in comparison with usual fillers of
micron scale size, that gives maximum reinforcement effect at small
nanofiller contents. Hence it follows, that the main research
object in the given case should be interfacial phenomena on polymer
matrix-filler boundary, to which Academician Lipatov pointed as
long as 40 years ago. Another important postulate is the fractal
nature of nanoparticles structure, defining the mentioned above
interfacial interactions level. The two postulates mentioned would
be the main at the structure and properties of polymer
nanocomposites analysis in the present monograph. At the same time
the authors do not exlude the application of other model
representations, for example, of the mentioned above
micromechanical models.The purpose of the present monograph is the
research of structure-properties relationships, defining a polymer
nanocomposites reinforcement mechanism, for seven different classes
of these materials. For these tasks solution the modern physical
conceptions: synergetics of solid body, cluster model of polymers
amorphous state structure, percolation theory are used.
