The first report on the preparation of a CNT/polymer nanocomposite in 1994 [2], a myriad of research efforts have been made to understand their structure-property relationship and find useful applications. The effective utilization of carbon nanotubes in composite apphcations depends strongly on the ability to homogeneously disperse them throughout the matrix without destroying their integrity. Furthermore, good interfacial bonding...

Polymer composites consist of a polymer matrix with the addition of fillers to enhance strength and other properties. This book reviews current research on the manufactirre and properties of the main types of polymer nanocomposite. It discusses types of polymer nanocomposite as defined by filler such as carbon nanotube-based nanocomposites, as well as types of nanocomposite as defined by base such as nylon-based and PET-based nanocomposites. The book also considers apphcations in such areas as aerospace engineering and optical materials.
