Description for Fundamentals of Polymer-Clay Nanocomposites
hardcover. The first authored introduction to the science, engineering and commercial applications of polymer-clay nanocomposites. Num Pages: 194 pages, 36 b/w illus. 1 table. BIC Classification: TDCP; TGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 247 x 174 x 14. Weight in Grams: 54.
Written for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners, this book provides a complete introduction to the science, engineering, and commercial applications of polymer-clay nanocomposites. Starting with a discussion of general concepts, the authors define specific terms used in the field, providing newcomers with a strong foundation to the area. The physical and mechanical properties of polymer-clay nanocomposites are then described, with chapters on thermodynamics and kinetics, engineering properties, barrier properties, and flame retardancy. Mechanisms underpinning observed effects, such as UV resistance, solvent resistance, and hardness, are also explained. In-depth discussions of clay and clay surface treatment, fabrication, and characterization of nanocomposites ... Read more
