About this title

From the Back Cover:

High performance polymer materials have excellent outcomes at high temperatures because of their properties and are indispensable in aerospace, electronics, electrical engineering, high-speed rail, and other important high-tech fields.

High Performance Polymers and Their Nanocomposites reviews the recent research accomplishments with regard to their synthesis and preparation, structure, properties and applications. Among the many topics discussed are liquid crystal polymers, polyamide 4,6 and polyacrylamide and the influence of nanostructured multifunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane on surface morphology. Also discussed are thermoplastic polyimide and polytetrafluoroethylene's performance properties and applications. A review of polymers containing phthalazinone moieties is presented along with a discussion of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(ethylene naphthalate) polyesters; high-performance oil-resistant blends of ethylene propylenevdiene monomer and epoxidized natural rubber; and unsaturated polyester nanocomposites reinforced with functionalized nanofillers.

The chapters in this book have been written by prominent researchers from industry, academia, and government/private research laboratories across the globe, making it an up-to-date record on the major findings and observations in the field.

Audience

This book will be a very valuable reference source for polymer and materials scientists, researchers and engineers in R&D laboratories, academia and industry working in the area of high-performance polymers. Post-doctoral research fellows and graduate students will benefit from this book as well.
