Taking an interdisciplinary
approach, this new book considers state-of-the-art developments and
research in polymer science, such as advanced polymers, composites and
nanocomposites, and the role of polymers in the progress of green
chemistry and medicine. Polymers are studied in fields as diverse as
polymer science (polymer chemistry and polymer physics), biophysics,
biochemistry, and more generally in materials science and engineering.
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and nanocomposites (PMNCs) are widely
used in hightech material structures such as in the automotive, marine,
and aerospace industries. Their impact on the physical and mechanical
performance is mainly due to their reinforcing agents, fibers (glass,
carbon, aramid) or nanofibers (MMT, CNTs, graphene, etc) but also due
to a perfect mastery of the matrix/reinforcement interface.
