This new book provides a solid understanding of the recent
developments in the field of composites and nanocomposites. It
explains the significance of the new fillers, such as graphene and
arbon nanotubes in different matrix systems. The application of
these materials in biological and others fields also makes this
book unique. This detailed study of nanocomposites, their
structure, processing and characterization will be of value in all
walks of engineering life. The book covers the following topics: *
polymer matrix composites * ceramic matrix composites * carbon
matrix composites * wood-based composites * biocomposites *
ecocomposites * nanocomposites * processing * properties * fracture
and damage mechanics * durability * and more Composite materials
are solids that contain two or more distinct constituent materials
or phases, on a scale larger than the atomic. The term "composite"
is usually reserved for those materials in which the distinct
phases are separated on a scale larger than the atomic, and in
which properties such as the elastic modulus are significantly
altered in comparison with those of a homogeneous material.
Composites have properties that cannot be achieved by either of the
constituent materials alone. Composites are becoming more and more
important as they can help improve our quality of life. Composites
are put into service in flight vehicles, automobiles, boats,
pipelines, buildings, roads, bridges, and dozens of other products.
Researchers are finding ways to improve other qualities of
composites so they may be strong, lightweight, long-lived, and
inexpensive to produce. The science and engineering of composites
and nanocomposites draws on traditional characterization and
processing technologies. Research describing structures containing
nanoparticles seems to rely on methods that are being pushed to the
limit of resolution. Preparation of nanocomposites also poses very
real processing challenges. The list of questions about the
fabrication, characterization, and use of nanocomposites is long
despite massive financial and intellectual investment. The
magnitude of the effects these small particles impart to the bulk
properties of a composite are great enough that the science is
likely to continue to grow in importance.
Nanostructured materials are emerging as a new class of materials
that exhibit unique microstructures and enhanced mechanical
performance. As an outcome of this, these materials have attracted
considerable attention in scientific communities all over the
world. There is continuous research to facilitate product
development, thereby improving product quality and reliability in
industry. This volume is devoted to novel architectures at the
nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization
methods. Special emphasis is given to new applications of
nanostructures and nanocomposites in various fields, such as
nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and
nano-medicine. The chapters are divided into sections focusing on:
