Opis

Reinforcement for polymer matrix composites may not grab headlines, but it is one of the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This book highlights those areas where fabrication has proven difficult due to CNT entanglement and poor interfacial interactions among the CNTs and polymers. The text outlines how to specifically functionalize CNTs and control their surface functionalities to enhance the interfacial interactions with polymer matrix.

Recenzje

Researchers working in the field of CNTs will greatly appreciate the convenience of this compilation that describes dispersion and functionalization of CNT into polymer composites. … researchers new to this field of research would greatly benefit from the clear and comprehensive review of these two critical parameters and will quickly gain a deep technical insight into the details.
