A truly practical guide, which aims to cut through the hype and show where these new
‘wonder materials’ will really fit into your industry and products.
The editor has drawn together contributions from academics, materials suppliers, product manufacturers, NASA and the US
army, which show how these materials really perform, and where they are already finding uses. Flame retardancy and barrier
properties are key benefits.
Performance however is only part of the story. To achieve commercial success new materials must also deliver these properties
safely and predictably. Processing is a key issue when investment in new equipment may not be an option. There are questions
regarding the health impacts of all nanoscale particles. All these topics and more are covered in the following sections:
• Developments in Commercial Polymer Nanocomposite Materials
• Working with Polymer Nanocomposite Materials
• Unique Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites
• Polymer Nanocomposites in Demanding Industrial Applications The ISBN is as follows: 978-1-906479-04-6
NEW: I have also running a mailing list called Nanocomposites at LinkedIn and please subscribe yourself there....
