This book focuses on effective ways to combine improved mechanical and physical properties in polymers in order to form new, performance-enhanced composite materials. It presents recent research and results not available elsewhere by scientists at the vanguard of their specialties. Reflecting the continuing study of mechanisms elucidating the structure-function relationship of nanostructured polymers and nanocomposites, topics include nanoparticle-filled thermoplastic polymers, applications of carbon nanotube and nanofiber reinforced polymer systems, alternative methods of polymer modification based on micro- and nanolayered polymers, and hot compaction of oriented fibers and tapes. > The improvement of strength and durability in polymers has implications relevant to industrial, medical, and household applications. Enhanced by the improved knowledge of the interactions between complex hierarchical structures and functional requirements, Mechanical Properties of Polymers Based on Na
