Carbon-Based Nanofillers and Their Rubber Nanocomposites: Carbon Nano-Objects

Carbon-Based Nanofillers and Their Rubber Nanocomposites: Carbon Nano-Objects

by Srinivasarao Yaragalla (Editor)

Synopsis

Carbon Based Nanofillers and Their Rubber Nanocomposites: Carbon Nano-Objects presents their synthetic routes, characterization and structural properties, and the effect of nano fillers on rubber nanocomposites. The synthesis and characterization of all carbon-based fillers is discussed, along with their morphological, thermal, mechanical, dynamic mechanical and rheological properties. In addition, the book covers the theory, modeling and simulation aspects of these nanocomposites, along with various applications. Users will find this a unique contribution to the field of rubber science and technology that is ideal for graduates, post graduates, engineers, research scholars, polymer engineers, polymer technologists, and those in biomedical fields.
