In\nthis context, it addresses both fundamental and advanced concepts, while\ndelineating the parameters and mechanisms responsible for these potentials. Aspects considered include\nembrittlement\/toughness; wear\/scratch\nbehaviour; thermal\nstability and flame retardancy;\nbarrier, electrical and thermal conductivity; and\noptical and magnetic properties. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\nFurther, the book was written\nas a coherent unit rather than a collection of chapters on different\ntopics. As such, the\nresults, analyses and discussions presented herein provide a guide for the\ndevelopment of a new class of multi-functional nanocomposites. Offering an\ninvaluable resource for materials researchers and postgraduate students in the\npolymer composites field, they\nwill also greatly benefit materials  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447168072\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-6809-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 305\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49471183487116,"sku":"9781447168072","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447168072.jpg?v=1777981980","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781447168072","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
