Advanced Polymer Nanocomposites: Science Technology and Applications presents a detailed review of new and emerging research outcomes from fundamental concepts that are relevant to science, technology and advanced applications. Sections cover key drivers such as the rising demand for lightweight and high strength automotive parts, the need for sustainable packaging materials and conservation of flavor in the food, drinks and beverages industries, and defense initiatives such as ballistic protection, fire retardation and electromagnetic shielding. With contributions from international authors working at the cutting-edge of research, this book will be an essential reference resource for materials scientists, chemists, manufacturers and polymer engineers.
Through recent advances in nanotechnology, researchers can now manipulate atoms to create materials and products that are changing the way we live our lives. These materials have enhanced properties, such as tensile strength, impact and scratch resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, thermal stability and fire resistance.
