Description

Hybrid Polymer Composite Materials: Volume 1: Structure and Chemistry presents the latest on these composite materials that can best be described as materials that are comprised of synthetic polymers and biological/inorganic/organic derived constituents. The combination of unique properties that emerge as a consequence of the particular arrangement and interactions between the different constituents provides immense opportunities for advanced material technologies.

This series of four volumes brings an interdisciplinary effort to accomplish a more detailed understanding of the interplay between synthesis, structure, characterization, processing, applications, and performance of these advanced materials, with this volume focusing on their structure and chemistry.

• Provides a clear understanding of the present state-of-the-art and the growing utility of hybrid polymer composite materials
• Includes contributions from world renowned experts and discusses the combination of different kinds of materials procured from diverse resources
• Discusses their synthesis, chemistry, processing, fundamental properties, and applications
• Provides insights on the potential of hybrid polymer composite materials for advanced applications
