Preface
Many of the recent research accomplishments in the area of high performance polymers, their preparation, structure-properties and their nanocomposites are summarized in High Performance Polymers and Their Nanocomposites. Among the many topics discussed are liquid crystal polymers, polyamide 4,6 and polyacrylamide, and the influence of nanostructured multifunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane on surface morphology. Also discussed are thermoplastic polyimide, and polytetrafluoroethylene’s performance properties and applications. A review of polymer containing phthalazinone moieties is presented along with a discussion of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(ethylene naphthalate) polyesters; high-performance oil-resistant blends of ethylene propylene diene monomer and epoxidized natural rubber; and unsaturated polyester nanocomposites reinforced with functionalized nanofillers.
This book will be a very valuable reference source for university and college faculties, professionals, post-doctoral research fellows, senior graduate students, and researchers from R&D laboratories working in the area of high performance polymers and their nanocomposites. The various chapters in this book are contributed by prominent researchers from industry, academia and government/private research laboratories across the globe, making it an up-to-date record on the major findings and observations in the field.
The first chapter discusses the state-of-the-art of high performance polymer ...
