About this ebook

Since the Nobel Prize for the discovery of graphene was presented in 2010, graphene has been frequently leveraged for different applications. Owing to the strategic importance of elastomer-based products in different segments, graphene and its derivatives are often added to different elastomers to improve their properties. Graphene-Rubber Nanocomposites: Fundamentals to Applications provides a comprehensive and innovative account of graphene-rubber composites.

Features:

  • Provides up-to-date information and research on graphene-rubber nanocomposites
  • Presents a detailed account of the different niche applications ranging from sensors, flexible electronics to thermal, and EMI shielding materials
  • Offers a comprehensive know-how on the structure-property relationship of graphene-rubber nanocomposites
  • Covers the characterization of graphene-based elastomeric composition
  • Delivers a comprehensive understanding of the structure of the graphene, including its chemical modification for usage in elastomer composites

This book will be a valuable resource for graduate-level students, researchers, and professionals working in the fields of materials science, polymer science, nanoscience and technology, rubber technology, chemical engineering, and composite materials.
