Polymer Composites: From Nano- to Macro-Scale by: Klaus Friedrich, Stoyko Fakirov, Zhong Zhang

"Polymer composites have been around a long time and are extensively used in many types of applications ranging from floor tiles to stealth aircraft. a ] This book is an edited volume that addresses a broad range of topics in this field a ] . There are 18 chapters emanating mainly from European laboratories and others in the eastern hemisphere. a ] It will be a valuable addition to the library of any group actively developing composite materials." (Donald R. Paul, Materials Today, Vol. 10 (1-2), January-February, 2007)

This authoritative and comprehensive multi-author volume provides a useful summary of updated knowledge on polymer composites in general, practically integrating experimental studies, theoretical analyses and computational modeling at different scales, i.e. from nano- to macro- scale. Detailed consideration is given to four major areas: structure and properties of polymer nanocomposites; characterization and modeling; processing and application of macro-composites; and mechanical performance of macro-composites.
