New Horizons of Nano Fillers and Their Enhanced Nanocomposites by Fengge Gao Book PDF Summary
Nanocomposites are now progressing into a new era of research. Over the past two decades it was essentially focused on the enhancement of traditional engineering applications such as mechanical and barrier properties, anti-solvent resistance, heat distortion behavior, electrical conductivity and fire retardancy. The science and technology that was particularly relevant to this research has now become progressively mature. This book will stand-out from more traditional publications covering new innovative areas of research. Some of the applications discussed might be well-known in some research communities but not necessarily so in the nanocomposites community, such as dielectric materials for example. Other applications are new and just emerging such as clay nanoparticles in foam stability. In addition to covering innovative applications; the book will also address issues concerning nanocomposite materials in both industry and the academic community, mainly health and safety concerns in the application of these materials as well as future prospects for these materials in comparison with traditional fibres and filler enhancement materials. There is also an entire section dedicated to characterization techniques which have not been traditionally applied in nanocomposite research to date. Presents innovative applications, and characterization techniques of nanocomposites Coverage of health and safety and toxicity issues concerning nanomaterials Case studies in various industrial environments
