Opis

Manufacturing of Nanocomposites with Engineering Plastics collates recent research findings on the manufacturing, properties, and applications of nanocomposites with engineering plastics in one comprehensive volume. The book specifically examines topics of engineering plastics, rheology, thermo-mechanical properties, wear, flame retardancy, modeling, filler surface modification, and more. It represents a ready reference for managers and scholars working in the areas of polymer and nanocomposite materials science, both in industry and academia, and provides introductory information for people new to the field.

• Provides a comprehensive review of the most recent research findings
• A single one-stop ready reference that assimilates knowledge on the development of nanocomposites with engineering plastics
• Contributions from leading experts in the field
• Provides examples of applications that will help with material selection
• Chapters are designed to provide not only introductory information, but also to lead the reader to more advanced characterization tools
