Polymer blends and nanocomposites represent an advanced branch of polymer science where the component properties are efficiently enhanced by using various synthetic and processing methodologies. Extensive research focus on these materials in the past decades has resulted in significant know how in tuning their properties and performance. The book aims to present some of these functional polymer blends and nanocomposites with superior property profiles. Insights into the synthesis and processing of these materials have been presented and correlated with their properties and performance. The book is a comprehensive reference text for polymer, chemical, biochemical, mechanical and materials engineers, as well as plastics technologists. It is immensely beneficial for practicing scientists and researchers in both industry and academia. The book also serves as a useful text for the postgraduate university students in materials, polymer and chemical engineering disciplines.
