In recent times, polymer nanocomposites have attracted a great deal
of scientific interest due to their unique advantages over
conventional plastic materials, such as superior strength, modulus,
thermal stability, thermal and electrical conductivity, and gas
barrier. They are finding real and fast-growing applications in
wide-ranging fields such as automotive, aerospace, electronics,
packaging, and sports. This book focuses on the development of
polymer nanocomposites as an advanced material for textile
applications, such as fibers, coatings, and nanofibers. It compiles
and details cutting-edge research in the science and nanotechnology
of textiles with special reference to polymer nanocomposites in the
form of invited chapters from scientists and subject experts from
various institutes from all over the world. They include authors
who are actively involved in the research and development of
polymer nanocomposites with a wide range of functions-including
antimicrobial, flame-retardant, gas barrier, shape memory, sensor,
and energy-scavenging-as well as medical applications, such as
tissue engineering and wound dressings, to create a new range of
smart and intelligent textiles. Edited by Mangala Joshi, a
prominent nanotechnology researcher at the premier Indian Institute
of Technology, Delhi, India, this book will appeal to anyone
involved in nanotechnology, nanocomposites, advanced materials,
polymers, fibers and textiles, and technical textiles.
Multi-functionality is, now-a-days, an essential requirement for
composite materials to apply them in different advanced sectors
such as aerospace industries, automobiles, structural and
infrastructural applications, etc. In this context, this book deals
with the processing and properties of carbon nanofibre and nanotube
based multi-functional composites. Divided in to seven chapters,
the book presents the latest state of the art in this area,
research findings and discussion on the dispersion of vapor-grown
carbon nanofibres and single-walled carbon nanotubes within epoxy
matrix, properties of nano dispersed epoxy, processing and
properties of three phase carbon/epoxy composites developed using
nano-dispersed matrix, functionalization of nanofibre and nanotube
for better dispersion and good interface, and finally the summary
and conclusions. The research presented in this book suggests the
efficient routes for dispersing carbon nanofibre and nanotube
within epoxy matrix and, the optimized process conditions and
nanomaterial concentrations for successful development of
carbon/epoxy three phase multi-functional composites.
