Description
This book explores the modifying effects of various nanofillers on mechanical and physical properties of polymer nanocomposites. Looking at the four basic aspects of processing, characterization, properties, and applications, it analyzes how their features can allow for innovative multifunction within industry.
Covering design, production, and manufacture, this book focuses on meeting end-use requirements and the fabrication of materials. The importance of mindful design and the use of an appropriate synthesis method is the primary lens through which theory and practice are discussed. This volume looks at the various synthesis methods available for organic nanofillers and what characterizes them. Properties including mechanical, thermal, electrical, and tribological are thoroughly examined, along with the various computational techniques used to determine them. With important sustainable properties, nanofillers are essential to meeting the increasing demand for biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials. This book details the role nanofillers have to play in sustainability, alongside economic factors such as efficient manufacturing processes.
This book will appeal to both academic and industrial engineers involved with nanofillers in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and biomedical engineering.
