Polyurethane Nanocomposites: Design Formulations, Preparation, Characterization and Applications presents recent progress in this important area of research. The book covers the synthesis, processing, characterization, properties, and applications of these materials, along with their microstructural, mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical, dielectric, acoustic, morphological, rheological, and viscoelastic properties. In addition, nanofiller dispersion, polymer-nanofiller interaction, biodegradability, lifecycle assessment, environmental and health impacts, and disposal and recycling are covered in detail.
This book is an outstanding reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, engineers, and anyone involved in the field of polyurethane nanocomposites utilized in a broad range of different applications.
