Polymer nanocomposites are functional hybrid materials, which synergistically combine the component properties. Owing to the significantly improved performance at low filler fractions, these materials have emerged as suitable candidates for a wide variety of applications in diverse areas such as automotive, construction and aerospace sectors, electronics, sensing, food packaging, wastewater treatment, tissue engineering, artificial joints, etc. Such advanced applications of polymer nanocomposites, generated using different synthetic methodologies and functional nanofillers (such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, layered silicates, metal oxides, etc.), have been comprehensively reviewed in the book. The in-depth coverage of many application areas of the polymer nanocomposites makes the book a valuable asset for polymer, chemical, biochemical and mechanical engineers, as well as practicing scientists in academia and industry. It also serves as a reference text for postgraduate university students in various engineering disciplines.For more details, please visit https://centralwestpublishing.com

Liquid crystalline polymers have seen significant development in the recent years due to their beneficial property profiles, which make them suitable materials for use in a wide range of applications. As a result, a large number of such systems have been developed with well defined structure-property correlations by employing advanced synthetic methodologies. It is envisaged that the ongoing research efforts in this direction would further expand the family of liquid crystalline polymers and its spectrum of applications significantly. In this respect, the book aims to provide in-depth insights into the recent developments and future outlook of a variety of commercially relevant liquid crystalline polymer systems.The book is a valuable reference for polymer, chemical, biochemical and materials engineers, as well as practicing scientists and researchers in both academia and industry. It is also a useful resource for postgraduate university students in chemical, polymer and materials disciplines, along with interdisciplinary streams.For more details, please visit https://centralwestpublishing.com
