Engineering Applications of Polymer based Nanocomposites (Advanced Structured Materials, 237)

This book presents engineering applications of polymer-based nanocomposites. It discusses the recent developments, in the area of engineering applications, and summarizes many of the important polymer-based nanocomposites. In particular, it looks into more advanced topics like nanocomposites for renewable energy storage system, solar cells, antimicrobial and -bacterial applications, biosensing, smart packaging, food packaging, tissue engineering applications.

Therefore, the book covers an up-to-date record on the major findings and observations in the field of engineering applications of polymer-based nanocomposites. It serves as a “one stop” reference resource for important research accomplishments in the above area.
