Zusatztext "? a very good book for students! educators and application engineers." - Sorin Manolache! Pellucid Water! Milwaukee! Wisconsin! USA"The title of this book is very attractive. With well-organized contents and well-written chapters! it will certainly be a successful book." -Wei Yu! Shanghai Jiao Tong University! Shanghai! China"This state-of the-art book introduces the researchers to the interesting field of Multiphase Polymer Systems. All the chapters are well composed and nothing is missing. I am confident in the materials represented! and that they will attract researchers from different disciplines." - Vijay Kumar Thakur! Washington State University! USA Informationen zum Autor Andreea Irina Barzic has been a scientific researcher in the Department of Physical Chemistry of Polymers at the "Petru Poni" Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Iasi, Romania, since 2005. She received her PhD in chemistry from the Romanian Academy, Bucharest. Her major fields of interest include polymer blends, composites, and liquid crystal polymers. She has published more than 40 papers in peer-reviewed journals and has authored or co-authored several books. She is also involved in several research projects and is a referee (reviewer) for a number of prestigious journals in the field of polymer science. Silvia Ioan is a senior researcher, with more than 50 years of scientific contributions, at the "Petru Poni" Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Iasi, Romania. Her areas of study have included interdisciplinary research for theoretical and experimental substantiations of the processes and technologies at nano-, micro-, and macroscales. These scientific contributions have focused on the participation of some polymers with special architectures in obtaining multifunctional materials including studies concerning the improvement of some properties for predetermined goals and applications. The direction of her research is reflected in many publications, such as books or book chapters and more than 300 scientific papers, as well as in patents, in participation at several national and international scientific conferences, and as leader and member of numerous research projects. She also developed a specialized research group on the characterization of macromolecular compounds in solution and solid states at Romania’s Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry. In addition, Dr. Ioan serves as an expert reviewer of several prestigious scientific journals, and she is the PhD supervisor in the materials science domain at the doctoral school of the Romanian Academy—"Petru Poni" Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Iasi. Klappentext Emphasizing properties of these new materials in both solution and solid phase, this book describes the preparation, processing, properties, and practical implications of advanced multiphase systems from macro to nanoscales. It covers copolymers, polymer blends, polymer composites, gels, interpenetrating polymers, and layered polymer/metal structures. It analyzes experimental and theoretical aspects regarding the thermal and electrical transport phenomena and magnetic properties. It reviews advances in morphological, flow behavior, interfacial, physical, fire-resistant, thermophysical, and biomedical properties of multiphase polymer system. It also discusses research for advanced bio- and nanotechnologies. Catalog no.
