Discovered in the twentieth century, carbon nanotubes (CNT) were an
integral part of science and industry by the beginning of the
twenty first century, revolutionizing chemistry, physics, and
materials science. More recent advances in carbon nanotube
production methods have resulted in a tremendous push to
incorporate CNTs into polymer matrices. Although many advances have
been made, two major obstacles continue unresolved: the enhancement
of interfacial adhesion between CNTs and polymer matrix, and the
improvement of dispersion of CNTs in polymers. Both substantial
original contributors to the field, the authors present Carbon
Nanotubes for Polymer Reinforcement, the first monograph on various
conventional and innovative techniques to disperse and
functionalize carbon nanotubes for polymer reinforcement, elegantly
explaining the basic sciences and technologies involved in those
processes. Topics covered include: Use of CNTs in fabricating novel
polymer composites Principles and mechanisms behind CNT dispersion
and functionalization Methods for the functionalization and
dispersion of CNTs in polymer matrices Effects of CNTs on
functional and mechanical properties of polymer composites
Optimization of CNT/polymer nanocomposite fabrication Carbon
Nanotubes for Polymer Reinforcement is a comprehensive treatment
and critical review of the new class of polymer nanocomposites, and
points to areas of future developments. Composites engineers,
scientists, researchers, and students will find the basic knowledge
and technical results contained herein informative and useful
references for their work, whether for advanced research or for
design and manufacture of such composites.
