Beschreibung
This multi-author volume provides a useful summary of updated knowledge on polymer composites, practically integrating experimental studies, theoretical analyses and computational modeling at different scales, i.e. from nano- to macro- scale. Detailed consideration is given to four major areas: Part I deals with the structure and properties of nanocomposites. Part II focuses on some special characterization methods and modeling in the field of polymer composites. Processing and applications of macrocomposites makes up Part III, and Part IV deals with mechanical performance of macrocomposoites.
The use of polymer composites in various engineering applications has become state of the art. This multi-author volume provides a useful summary of updated knowledge on polymer composites in general, practically integrating experimental studies, theoretical analyses and computational modeling at different scales, i. e. , from nano- to macroscale. Detailed consideration is given to four major areas: structure and properties of polymer nanocomposites, characterization and modeling, processing and application of macrocomposites, and mechanical performance of macrocomposites. The idea to organize this volume arose from a very impressive workshop - The First International Workshop on Polymers and Composites at IVW Kaiserslautern: Invited Humboldt-Fellows and Distinguished Scientists, which was held on May 22-24,2003 at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. The contributing authors were invited to incorporate updated knowledge and developments into their individual chapters within a year after the workshop, which finally led to these excellent contributions. The success of this workshop was mainly sponsored by the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation through a Sofia Kovalevskaja Award Program, financed by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research within the "Investment in the Future Program" of the German Government. In 2001, the Humboldt Foundation launched this new award program in order to offer outstanding young researchers throughout the world an opportunity to establish their own work-groups and to develop innovative research concepts virtually in Germany. One of the editors, Z.
Covers in an unique way the whole range from nano- to macrocomposites including: Arbon nanotubes as reinforcement. Polymer-polymer composites focusing on their processing and application opportunities. Mechanical performance of macrocomposites and examples of modeling. Special characterization techniques of composite materials and products.

From the reviews:
"Polymer composites have been around a long time and are extensively used in many types of applications ranging from floor tiles to stealth aircraft. … This book is an edited volume that addresses a broad range of topics in this field … . There are 18 chapters emanating mainly from European laboratories and others in the eastern hemisphere. … It will be a valuable addition to the library of any group actively developing composite materials." (Donald R. Paul, Materials Today, Vol. 10 (1-2), January-February, 2007)
