This book deals with the preparation and characterization of several ZnO-reinforced bionanocomposites. Four different biocompatible thermoplastics were selected as matrix materials: high-performance poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK), engineering poly(phenylene sulphide) (PPS) and commodity poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), each of them with different properties and end-use applications. The different chapters describe in detail the influence of the concentration and surface modification of the nanoparticles on the morphology, thermal,...
