Polymer Nanocomposite Materials Based on Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

This book contains chapters on nanocomposites for engineering lighter, stronger and safer materials for engineering. In addition to structural engineering materials, there are also functional materials used in biotechnology and medicine including metal nanoclusters glass (quantum dots), materials for separation of biopolymers, and materials for the repair of teeth, repair and growth of bone and cartilage. Studies of other functional materials include nanocomposites for lithium batteries. Most chapters also contain methodological and analytic approaches. The book contains chapters on materials that are in use, as well as chapters on the development and testing of materials that could be used in the future.
