This book presents in-depth insights into the characterization of bionanocomposite materials based on rubber. Studying various classes of materials bases such as cellulose, chitin, starch, soy proteins, polylactic acid (PLA), bacterial cellulose and casein, it offers a valuable reference resource for graduate and postgraduate engineering students, researchers and polymer engineers working in industry.

This book summarizes the preparation, characterization and applications of rubber based nano blends.

Leading researchers from industry, academy, government and private research institutions across the globe have contributed to this book, which presents all types of rubber blend composites based on biomaterials as well as nanocomposites.

This book presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies of the destruction of solids under impact, explosion, high pressures, and strain rates. The content identifies the basic laws of the destruction of bodies under dynamic loads. The results of numerical studies were obtained using numerical methods on the Lagrangian, Euler, and ALE approaches to the description of the motion of continuous media. Numerical methods and mathematical models have been tested by comparison with experimental data and well-known analytical solutions (for instance, Rankin–Hugoniot laws)....
