Experimental Characterization, Predictive Mechanical and Thermal Modeling of Nanostructures and Their Polymer CompositesAuthor(s): Francesco Marotti De Sciarra, Pietro Russo\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division, United States\nImprint: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division\nISBN-13: 9780323480611, 978-0323480611\nSynopsis\nExperimental Characterization, Predictive Mechanical and Thermal Modeling of Nanostructures and Their Polymer Composite focuses on the recent observations and predictions regarding the size-dependent mechanical properties, material properties and processing issues of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and other nanostructured materials. The book takes various approaches, including dedicated characterization methods, theoretical approaches and computer simulations, providing a detailed examination of the fundamental mechanisms governing the deviations of the properties of CNTs and other nanostructured materials. The book explores their applications i.
