Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Conference on “Times of Polymers (TOP) and Composites” was held in September, 2008 (Ischia-Italy). This was the fourth of a series of biennial work shops on “polymers timescales” resulting from a joint initiative of the Second University of Naples-SUN and the University of Naples Federico II. Scientists from chemistry to physics to engineering areas formed a homogeneous community as the contributions, even if spanning very different topics, subtend the concept of timescale of polymer based materials. In all, about 150 papers were submitted by scientists from all over the world. The conference is organised in oral sessions subdivided into three main general topics, namely: Timescales of Polymers (TP), Composites and Nano-Composites, Polymer Chemistry and Physics which included the following sub-topics: Viscoelasticity, Glassy State, Thin Films, Blends, Organic Electronics: OLED, OTFT, Polymer-based Sensors, Industrial Rheology, Durability/Degradation, Polymer Processing, Tissue Engineering, Foams, Biomaterials, Cultural Heritage, Fracture and Yielding, Properties Modelling. This book is organized in a way that the sequence of papers complies with the structure of the conference with many papers selected from the general poster session. The first part of the book spanned over the timescales of polymers in absence of chemistry-driven phenomena. The time dependent behaviour of several classes of polymers was tackled from different perspectives, from soft matter physics to structural design approach. The second section was mainly devoted to the different aspects that influence the response properties of Nanocomposites as well as structural composites. Many papers focused on the promising perspectives of carbon nanotubes, organically modified clays and metallic nanoparticles based polymers. Theoretical as well as experimental approaches were extensively addressed. The third section was devoted to the chemistry-induced physical changes in polymers. From optical properties to biocompatibility a wide range of systems was presented. The book is co-edited by Alberto D’Amore and Domenico Acierno, the co-chairmen of the conference, that pre-screened the submitted papers for topical applicability and by Luigi Grassia that, with his invaluable support, rendered realistic carrying out the book within a very “narrow timescale”.

Download or read book Monomers Polymers and Composites from Renewable Resources written by Mohamed Naceur Belgacem and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The progressive dwindling of fossil resources, coupled with the drastic increase in oil prices, have sparked a feverish activity in search of alternatives based on renewable resources for the production of energy. Given the predominance of petroleum- and carbon-based chemistry for the manufacture of organic chemical commodities, a similar preoccupation has recently generated numerous initiatives aimed at replacing these fossil sources with renewable counterparts. In particular, major efforts are being conducted in the field of polymer science and technology to prepare macromolecular materials based on renewable resources. The concept of the bio-refinery, viz. the rational exploitation of the vegetable biomass in terms of the separation of its components and their utilisation as such, or after suitable chemical modifications, is thus gaining momentum and considerable financial backing from both the public and private sectors. This collection of chapters, each one written by internationally recognised experts in the corresponding field, covers in a comprehensive fashion all the major aspects related to the synthesis, characterization and properties of macromolecular materials prepared using renewable resources as such, or after appropriate modifications. Thus, monomers such as terpenes and furans, oligomers like rosin and tannins, and polymers ranging from cellulose to proteins and including macromolecules synthesized by microbes, are discussed with the purpose of showing the extraordinary variety of materials that can be prepared from their intelligent exploitation. Particular emphasis has been placed on recent advances and imminent perspectives, given the incessantly growing interest that this area is experiencing in both the scientific and technological realms. - Discusses bio-refining with explicit application to materials - Replete with examples of applications of the concept of sustainable development - Presents an impressive variety of novel macromolecular materials

Download or read book Friction and Wear of Polymer Composites written by Klaus Friedrich and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a useful summary of current knowledge on the friction and wear properties of composite materials, this book fills the gap between publications on fundamental principles of tribology and those on the friction and wear behavior of metals and polymers. Detailed coverage is given of: the fundamental aspects of tribology in general and polymer composites in particular; the effects of the microstructure of composites on friction and wear behavior under different external loading conditions; and the problem of the control of friction and wear behavior in practical situations. Although emphasis is on polymer composites associated with bearing-type applications, part of the book is also devoted to the friction and wear of metal-based composites and rubber compounds. The data are represented in the form of 277 figures, diagrams and photographs, and 68 tables. The author index covers more than 670 references, and the subject index more than 1,000 keywords.The book will be of particular interest to: those involved in research on some aspects of polymer composites tribology (material scientists, physical chemists, mechanical engineers); those wishing to learn more methods for solving practical friction or wear problems (designers, engineers and technologists in industries, dealing with selection, reprocessing and application of polymer engineering materials); and teachers and students at universities.
Download or read book Manufacturing of Polymer Composites written by B. Tomas Astrom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential application areas for polymer composites are vast. While techniques and methodologies for composites design are relatively well established, the knowledge and understanding of post-design issues lag far behind. This leads to designs and eventually composites with disappointing properties and unnecessarily high cost, thus impeding a wider industrial acceptance of polymer composites. Manufacturing of Polymer Composites completely covers pre- and post-design issues. While the book enables students to become fully comfortable with composites as a possible materials choice, it also provides sufficient knowledge about manufacturing-related issues to permit them to avoid common pitfalls and unmanufacturable designs. The book is a fully comprehensive text covering all commercially significant materials and manufacturing techniques while at the same time discussing areas of research and development that are nearing commercial reality.

This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural Fiber-Reinforced Biodegradable and Bioresorbable Polymer Composites focuses on key areas of fundamental research and applications of biocomposites. Several key elements that affect the usage of these composites in real-life applications are discussed. There will be a comprehensive review on the different kinds of biocomposites at the beginning of the book, then the different types of natural fibers, bio-polymers, and green nanoparticle biocomposites are discussed as well as their potential for future development and use in engineering biomedical and domestic products. Recently mankind has realized that unless the environment is protected, he himself will be threatened by the over consumption of natural resources as well as a substantial reduction in the amount of fresh air produced in the world. Conservation of forests and the optimal utilization of agricultural and other renewable resources like solar, wind, and tidal energy, have become important topics worldwide. With such concern, the use of renewable resources—such as plant and animal-based, fiber-reinforced polymeric composites—are now becoming an important design criterion for designing and manufacturing components for a broad range of different industrial products.
