Advanced Polymer Structures

<p>Taking an interdisciplinary approach this new book considers state-of-the-art developments and research in polymer science such as advanced polymers composites and nanocomposites and the role of polymers in the progress of green chemistry and medicine. Polymers are studied in fields as diverse as polymer science (polymer chemistry and polymer physics) biophysics biochemistry and more generally in materials science and engineering. Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and nanocomposites (PMNCs) are widely used in hightech material structures such as in the automotive marine and aerospace industries. Their impact on the physical and mechanical performance is mainly due to their reinforcing agents fibers (glass carbon aramid) or nanofibers (MMT CNTs graphene etc) but also due to a perfect mastery of the matrix/reinforcement interface.</p>
