Inhaltsangabe

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of polymer blend nanocomposites, addressing their synthesis, morphology, processing, characterization, properties, and cutting-edge applications. Unlike existing books on polymer blends or nanocomposites, this volume uniquely focuses on the interplay between polymer blending and nanotechnology, offering a holistic understanding of the mechanisms governing nanoparticle migration, interfacial localization, and morphology control.

The book begins with the fundamentals of polymer blends and nanocomposites, emphasizing the thermodynamic and kinetic factors that dictate nanoparticle dispersion and phase interactions. It then delves into processing technologies, discussing how a combination of processing techniques can be optimized to achieve desired material properties. Structural and morphological characterization techniques are explored in detail, with case studies demonstrating real-world applications.

A key focus is nanoparticles as interfacial modifiers, explaining how nanofillers can replace expensive compatibilizers to enhance mechanical, electrical, and barrier properties. The book further covers advanced properties, degradation studies, and biodegradability, making it an essential resource for developing sustainable materials. Finally, the book highlights practical applications, including packaging, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and biomedical uses, with case studies illustrating successful implementations.

By providing an in-depth discussion of processing-structure-property relationships, this book equips scientists, engineers, and industry professionals with the knowledge to design high-performance polymer blend nanocomposites for next-generation applications.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Suprakas Sinha Ray was born in 1973 in India and completed his PhD studies at the University of Calcutta in 2001, and then postdoctoral fellow at Toyota Technological Institute, Japan and Laval University, Canada studying the structure-property relationship in nanoclay-containing polymer nanocomposites. He started working on fundamental understanding to real applications of polymer-based nanostructured materials when he joined (October 2006) the CSIR as a group leader. These studies advanced and broadened when he was appointed as a chief researcher and founding director of the DSI-CSIR Nanotechnology Innovation Centre and growing to the present time with scientists, engineers, technologists, postdoctoral fellows, students, collaborators and industrial partners worldwide. Currently, more than 115 researchers, engineers and technologists are working at the Centre. He is one of the most active authors (Cited more than 34000 times, h-factor of 77, GoogleScholar) in the field of polymernanocomposite materials and his work has been featured on various international journal cover pages on 17 occasions. Recently, he has been rated as the Top 1% of most impactful and influential scientists (Chemistry, Materials Science and 22 Science disciplines) by Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators. In 2011, he also has been rated as a Top 50 high impact chemist in the world (Feb. 2011, Thomson Reuter, probably youngest researcher in this list, 1.2 mil Chemists). So far he has given more than 65 plenary/keynote/invited presentations in various international conferences and organized/co-organized several international conferences. Prof. Ray is the author of 9 books, co-author of 8 edited books, 30 book chapters on various aspects of polymer-based nano-structured materials & their applications, and author and co-author of more than 505 articles in high-impact international journals, 14 articles in peer-review international conference proceedings; 30 articles in national and international conference proceedings. He also has 7 patents (registered or filled) and 10 new demonstrated technologies (commercialized) shared with colleagues, collaborators, and industrial partners. So far, his team commercialized 19 different products. Over the last 15 years, he has trained 23 postdoctoral fellows, produced 43 PhD and 23 Master students under his direct supervision. His honours and awards include Most Prestigious 2016 National Science and Technology Award (NSTF); Prestigious 2020 CSIR-wide career-achievement award; Prestigious 2014 CSIR-wide Leadership Award; Prestigious 2014 CSIR Human Capital development award; Prestigious 2013 Morand Lambla Awardee, International Polymer Processing Society, USA; Distinguish Visiting Professor, King Abdulaziz University, Kingdom of Saudi Arab (2012); Extraordinary Professor, University of Pretoria, South Africa (2013); Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, University of Johannesburg, South Africa (2012); Global Star Award 2011 from the Engineering ceramic division, the American Ceramic Society; CSIR MSM Prestigious Established Researcher Award (2010); Adjacent Professor, Free State University, South Africa (2009); Prestigious CSIR President's Award (2008); CSIR MSM Director's award (2008); JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Japanese Government (2002). He is an Editorial Board member of the ACS Omega and Macromolecular Materials and Engineering. Lesego Tabea Temane received her M-Tech in Chemical Engineering from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. She is a Senior Technologist at the Centre for Nanostructures and Advanced Materials, DSI-CSIR Nanotechnology Innovation Centre, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Pretoria, South Africa. Her research focuses on synthesizing, processing, and characterizing advanced 2D materials and nanostructured polymeric materials.
