<p><b>Comprehensive knowledge on the preparation, characterization, and applications of polymer nanocomposites</b> <p><i>Chemical Physics of Polymer Nanocomposites</i> examines the state of the art in preparation, processing, characterizing, and applying a wide range of polymer nanocomposites, elucidating nanofiller/polymer interactions, nanofiller dispersion, distribution, filler-filler interactions, and interface properties, with a particular focus on the rheology of this important class of materials. The dependence of the rheological properties on the preparation techniques is discussed in detail, complemented by an overview of the processing approaches using conventional and micro injection molding, extrusion, compression molding, film blowing, pultrusion, and resin transfer molding. <p>The book covers the latest understanding and accomplishments on polymer composites and presents the huge variety of this materials class. Practice-oriented with industry relevance, it also reviews preparation, characterization, morphology, properties, applications, sustainability, and recyclability. <p>The topics covered in <i>Chemical Physics of Polymer Nanocomposites</i> include: <ul><li>Classification of nano fillers, nano-objects, nanomaterials, and polymer nanocomposites based on chemical nature and identity, and synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles</li><li>General manufacturing methods and processes, including melt and shear mixing manufacturing of polymer nanocomposites</li><li>1D nano fillers and polymer nanocomposites, including polymer nanocomposites based on graphite nanoplatelets (GNP) and amphiphilic graphene platelets</li><li>Polymer nanocomposites based on nano chitin, starch, and lignin, gold nanowires, titanium dioxide, and graphene and graphene oxide</li></ul> <p><i>Chemical Physics of Polymer Nanocomposites </i>is an essential resource for materials scientists, polymer chemists, chemical engineers, and engineering scientists in industry.
