Zusatztext Researchers working in the field of CNTs will greatly appreciate the convenience of this compilation that describes dispersion and functionalization of CNT into polymer composites. ? researchers new to this field of research would greatly benefit from the clear and comprehensive review of these two critical parameters and will quickly gain a deep technical insight into the details.-IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine! March/April 2012 Informationen zum Autor Peng-Cheng Ma is currently a Humboldt Postdoctoral Researcher at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research in Dresden, Germany. Jang-Kyo Kim is currently a Professor, Associate Dean of Engineering and Director of the Finextex-HKUST R&D Center at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Klappentext Reinforcement for polymer matrix composites may not grab headlines! but it is one of the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs).These CNT/polymer nanocomposites hold the promise of delivering exceptional mechanical properties and multi-functional characteristics. This book highlights those areas where fabrication has proven difficult due to CNT entanglement and poor interfacial interactions among the CNTs and polymers. The text outlines how to specifically functionalize CNTs and control their surface functionalities to enhance the interfacial interactions with polymer matrix! as well as how to incorporate these nanostructured materials into polymer while CNTs are uniformly dispersed.
