Hybrid Polymer Composite Materials: Structure and Chemistry

Hybrid polymer composites combine synthetic polymers with biological, inorganic or organic constituents. The mix of properties that results from how these parts are arranged and how they interact opens up a wide range of possibilities for advanced materials, and this volume concentrates on their structure and chemistry.

The four-volume series as a whole brings several disciplines together to study how synthesis, structure, characterisation, processing, applications and performance connect. This first volume gives an account of the current state of the field and of its growing use. It covers how the materials are made, their chemistry, how they are processed and their fundamental properties, and it considers their potential in advanced applications.
