Flame Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Morgan, Alexander B.; Wilkie, Charles A.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Flame Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites takes a comprehensive look at polymer nanocomposites for flame retardancy applications and includes nanocomposite fundamentals (theory, design, synthesis, characterization) as well as polymer flammability fundamentals with emphasis on how nanocomposites affect flammability. The book has practical examples from literature, patents, and existing commercial products. Readers can design new work based upon the material in the book or use it as a handy reference for interpreting existing work and results.

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

"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)
