Advances in Functionalized Polymer Nanocomposites [EPUB ebook] 
From Synthesis to Applications

Advances in Functionalized Polymer Nanocomposites: From Synthesis to Applications presents a detailed review on the synthesis, fundamental chemistry, properties, and applications of these high-performance materials. The introductory chapter provides a brief overview of the various types of organic and inorganic nanofillers used for the synthesis of polymer nanocomposites. Emphasis is placed on their fundamental chemistry, processing methods, functionalization and/or surface modification strategies. The dispersion state and their specific interaction with polymer matrices is also discussed in detail, as well as characterization techniques for functionalized nanofillers and functionalized polymer nanocomposites, and their properties, and applications. The book will be a valuable reference source for scientists, engineers, and postgraduate students, working in the field of polymer science and technology, materials science and engineering, composites, and nanocomposites. – Covers fabrication, processing, characterization, and properties of various functionalized polymer nanocomposites- Explores usage in energy storage systems, biomedical fields, environmental remediation, catalysis, gas sensing, biosensing, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding- Provides information on lifecycle assessment and environmental and health impacts of these materials
