The production of 'polymer nanocomposites' has recently gained
considerable attention from both the academic and industrial
community, especially in the area of nanoscience. This is mainly
due to their enhanced improvements in physico-mechanical, thermal
and barrier properties compared to micro and more conventional
composites. Their nanoscale dimensions, biodegradable character,
cost-effectiveness and sustainability have constituted a stimulus
for this increasing interest. Currently there is no limit to the
possibility of applications. However, despite all this progress, it
is still difficult to achieve uniform dispersion between the filler
and the matrix, as agglomerations form far too easily and the
production of polymer nanocomposites with high mechanical and
thermal properties is still limited. The authors of this proposed
book, are of the opinion, that with the increase in scientific
publications and the rapid progress in processing possibilities to
produce nanocomposites based on various nanoscale fillers
(silica/clay), a book that collects all of these scientific
findings in one place would be timely and of great interest to both
students and scientific researchers, who are concerned with the
production, and application of nanocomposites as new innovative
materials. The authors aim is to present the latest research
findings on the fabrication, properties and applications of
nanofillers as reinforcement in polymer nanocomposites. Particular
emphasis will be placed on the introduction of various nanofillers
(silica/clay) into different elastomeric polymer matrices that will
enhance the properties of these materials and their applications.
The book will provide an up-to-date review of major innovations in
the field and act as a reference for future research in materials
science and engineering, which is highly topical due to the demand
to produce more sustainable and eco-friendly innovative advanced
materials from elastomeric polymers.

Recycled plastic biocomposites have attracted widespread attention
from both researchers and manufacturers due to the significant
improvements in their physico-mechanical, thermal, rheological, and
barrier properties when compared to conventional materials, as well
as their potential regarding commercialization and zero waste.
Recycled Plastic Biocomposites presents the latest information on
recycled polymers, textiles, pulp and paper, wood plastic, rubber
waste plastic, and micro and nano effects of recycled plastic waste
resources that have great potential as reinforcement materials in
composites because they are non-toxic, inexpensive, biodegradable,
cost-effective, and available in large amounts. Recycled plastic
biocomposites are now starting to be deployed in a broad range of
materials applications due to their advantages over petroleum-based
materials. Currently, there are no limits to the possibility of
their applications. They also have exceptional sustainable and
biodegradable properties when compared to conventional materials
such as polymers and composites. Recycled Plastic Biocomposites
reviews the latest research advances on recycled plastic-based
biocomposites, including thermoplastic, thermoset, rubber, and
foams. In addition, the book covers critical assessments on the
economics of recycled plastic, including a cost-performance
analysis that discusses its strengths and weaknesses as a
reinforcement material. The huge potential applications of recycled
plastic in industry are also explored in detail with respect to low
cost, recyclable and biodegradable properties, and the way they can
be applied to the automotive, construction, and packaging
industries. The life cycles of both single and hybrid recycled
plastic-based polymer composites and biocomposites are also
discussed in detail. From the viewpoint of recycled plastic-based
polymer composites, the book covers not only the well-known role of
recycled polymers and composites, but also advanced materials
produced from micro-, nano-, and pico-scale fillers that achieve
better physical, mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties.
This book will be an essential reference resource for academic and
industrial researchers, materials scientists, and those working in
polymer science and engineering, chemical engineering,
manufacturing, and biocomposites.

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring
infrastructureless network of mobile devices connected by wireless.
Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any
direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices
frequently. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use, and
therefore be a router. The primary challenge in building a MANET is
equipping each device to continuously maintain the information
required to properly route traffic. Such networks may operate by
themselves or may be connected to the larger Internet. MANETs are a
kind of wireless ad hoc networks that usually has a routable
networking environment on top of a Link Layer ad hoc network. The
growth of laptops and 802.11/Wi-Fi wireless networking have made
MANETs a popular research topic since the mid 1990s. Many academic
papers evaluate protocols and their abilities, assuming varying
degrees of mobility within a bounded space, usually with all nodes
within a few hops of each other. Different protocols are then
evaluated based on measure such as the packet drop rate, the
overhead introduced by the routing protocol, end-to-end packet
delays, network throughput etc.
