Flame Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites

Beschreibung

A comprehensive overview of nanocomposites and the effects of nanocomposite formation on fire retardant systems

Flame Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites draws extensively from current work and research in the field to provide a detailed look at polymer nanocomposites for flame retardancy applications. It covers both nanocomposite fundamentals, including theory, design, synthesis, and characterization, and polymer flam-mability fundamentals, emphasizing the effects of nanocomposites on flammability. With chapters written by prominent scientists in the specific area, this authoritative reference: ?
_

Contains practical examples from literature, patents, and existing commercial products
_

Includes detailed experimental procedures that highlight the necessary steps for accurate nanocomposite research
_

Serves as an authoritative reference for interpreting existing work or as a valuable resource for those designing new work and research
_

Features extensive cross-referencing throughout
_

Provides a preview of the future in the field, with chapters on potential applications of nanocomposites for flame retardancy and practical issues and future trends in research

This is an up-to-date, consolidated reference on polymer nanocomposite flammability for researchers in academia, government, and industry, as well as other scientists interested in polymer science, material science, chemistry, fire safety engineering, nanotechnology, and analytical science.

Rezensionen

"...Very useful is that the book has practical examples from literature, patents, and existing commercial products. The reader can design new work based upon the material in the book or use it as a handy reference for interpreting existing work and results." Pu Magazin, 08/2007

"...The reader can design new work based upon the material in the book or use it as a handy reference for interpreting existing work and results." PU MAGAZINE - VOL. 4, NO. 4 - AUGUST 2007

"Whether of what role clay nanocomposites will find in flame retardancy is unknown. This volume does provide a very good view of what we do know and what we need to do next" (Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials, 2008)

"Those working in the field of flame retardants for polymers scientists, engineers, researchers, material scientists, and fire scientists will use this book for its very relevant, practical, and timely information. The descriptions given also may lead to developments of new and improved flame retardant materials, well worth the price..." (IEEE Electrical Insulation, April 2008)
