Structural Nanocomposites [electronic resource] : Perspectives for Future Applications / edited by James Njuguna.

From the Contents: Dispersion methods of carbon nanotubes for the development of polymeric nanocomposites: characterization and application -- Thermoplastic nanocomposites with carbon nanotubes -- Graphite Based Nanocomposites to Enhance Mechanical Properties.

Advancements in the nanotechnology industry promise to offer improvements in capabilities across a spectrum of applications. This is of immense strategic importance to the high performance sector which has historically leveraged technological advances. The use of polymer nanocomposites in structures have several predictable impacts on structural design and applications, primarily by providing a safer, faster, and eventually cheaper transportation in the future. This books comprises reviews on the state-of-the-art, new research results, perspectives of future developments, and innovative applications relevant to  structural materials, engineering structures, nanocomposites, modelling  and simulations, and their related application areas.
