Advances in Functionalized Polymer NanocompositesFrom Synthesis to Applications\nAuthor(s): Gautam Patel, Kalim Deshmukh, Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division, United States\nImprint: Woodhead Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780443188602, 978-0443188602\nSynopsis\nAdvances 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 book's 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 .
