In India, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are estimated to be responsible for 1.5 million deaths annually. Indeed, it is estimated that by 2020, CVDs will be the largest cause of mortality and morbidity in India. Hypertension is a major risk factor for CVDs, including stroke and myocardial infarction, and its burden is increasing disproportionately in developing countries. It is estimated that around two-thirds of those with people with hypertension worldwide were living in developing countries (639 million) in 2000, and that this would rise to three-quarters living in developing countries...

Analysing the modifying effects of various inorganic nanofillers on the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites, this book covers processing, characterization, properties, and applications to analyse how these materials allow for innovative multifunction.

This two volume set will analyse the modifying effects of both organic and inorganic nanofillers on the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites. Detailing processing, characterization, properties, and applications, the books demonstrate how choosing the right nanofiller can encourage innovation, sustainability and cost effective manufacturing. The set includes the following volumes: - Volume one looks at organic nanofillers including natural fibres and membranes - Volume two focuses on inorganic nanofillers including metallic foams, metal oxides and hydrogels These volumes...
