Synthetic and Natural Nanofillers in Polymer Composites: Properties and Applications

Synthetic and Natural Nanofillers in Polymer Composites: Properties and Applications provides a detailed review of nanofiller-based composite materials and structures and discusses their current and potential applications in industrial sectors. The book covers the mechanisms of using nanofillers as reinforcement, materials selection, properties and performance, structures, design solutions, and manufacturing techniques. A broad range of different material classes are also discussed, with an emphasis on advanced materials. Other topics covered include the development and performance analysis of hybrid composites, their lifecycle analysis, the effects of different fiber loadings, and mechanical, thermal and electrical performance.

This book will be a valuable reference resource for materials scientists, engineers and academic and industrial researchers working in the field of polymer composites, specifically nanocomposites and applications based on synthetic and nanofiller-reinforced composites.
