Acerca deste libro electrónico
In addition, the book discusses preparation methods and applications for various types of polymer-based macro, micro, and nano blends. Chapters include thermoplastic-based polymer & nano blends, applications of rubber based and thermoplastic blends, micro/nanostructures polymer blends containing block copolymers, advances in polymer-inorganic hybrids as membrane materials, synthesis of polymer/inorganic hybrids through heterophase polymerizations, nanoporous polymer foams from nanostructured polymer blends, and natural polymeric biodegradable nano blends for protein delivery.
- Describes the techniques pertaining to a kind (or small number) of blends, showing specific examples of their applications
- Covers micro, macro, and nano polymer blends
- Contains contributions from leading experts in the field
