The usage of nanoscience and nanotechnology in engineering directly links academic research in the above two fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology to industries and daily life. As a result, numerous nanomaterials, nanodevices and nanosystems for various engineering purposes have been developed and used for human betterment. This book, which consists of eight self-contained chapters, provides the essential theoretical knowledge and important experimental techniques required for the research and development on nanoscience and nanotechnology in engineering, and deals with the five key topics...

The use of polymeric nanocomposites (PNCs) as matrix in fabric reinforced composites leads to a novel concept of fabric reinforced nanocomposite-matrix composite (FRNC). This book explains the development of polyetherimide (PEI)/nanoclay nanocomposites by specially developed vibration casting method. These nanocomposites are fabricated with varying content of nanoclay in PEI. It further explains the development of FRNC using compression moulding technology. FRNC is developed by reinforcing E-glass fabric in nanocomposite matrix. The nanocomposite with optimum mechanical, thermal and...
