Polyurethane Nanocomposites

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