Advanced polymeric materials : from macro- to nano-length scales / edited by Sabu Thomas, PhD [and three others].

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"The aim of this new compendium is to provide a solid understanding of the recent developments in advanced polymeric materials from macro- to nano-length scales. Composites are becoming more and more important as they can help to improve our quality of life, such as being put into service in flight vehicles, automobiles, boats, pipelines, buildings, roads, bridges, and dozens of other products, including medical products. The chapters cover a multitude of important advances, including explanations of the significance of the new fillers like graphene, carbon nanotubes, etc., in different matrix systems. Coverage of the application of these materials in biological and others fields also makes this book unique. Topics include advances on the processing, properties, recyclability, reparability, etc., and applications for: polymer matrix composites o ceramic matrix composites; carbon matrix composites; wood-based composites; biocomposites; ecocomposites; nanocomposites; and more."-- Provided by publisher.
