Polymer/Nanodiamond Nanocomposites: Fundamentals, Properties and Applications provides an up-to-date review of these materials. The structure, design, processing, and properties, as well as technological advancements, are all thoroughly discussed. Several practical and potential application areas are also identified such as tribological aerospace/automobile materials (thermally conducting, lubricant, and radiation shielding), coatings/anti-corrosion nanomaterials, shape memory nanocomposites, energy devices (Li ion batteries and solar cells), and biomedical nanomaterials (drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensor, imaging). Current difficulties and potential opportunities are also discussed in detail.
Polymer/Nanodiamond Nanocomposites: Fundamentals, Properties and Applications covers all aspects of these new novel materials' design, structure, manufacture, and applications. The book offers an up-to-date comprehensive knowledge resource for materials scientists, researchers, and engineers.
