Polymer-based Nanocomposites for Energy and Environmental Applications

The synthesis of polymer-based nanocomposites is one of the major advancements in polymer-based materials. It has developed as a subject of prodigious interest over the last few decades. The simple synthesis, nanoscale dimensions, biodegradable character, high aspect ratio, light weight, cost effectiveness, and sustainability aspects have all established a drive for these types of materials. Nanocomposites are novel materials with significantly enhanced properties owing to the integration of a small amount ( Presently, there are no restrictions to their potential applications, although their main application is related to advanced materials, used for energy and environment. This is mainly because of the synergistic effect between the polymer matrix and other material that produces nanocomposites with high catalytic, mechanical, electrical and electronic properties. This book provides a comprehensive and updated review of major innovations in the field of polymer-based nanocomposites for energy and environmental applications and will be an essential reference for future research in polymer based nanocomposites, which is much in demand due to sustainable, recyclable, and eco-friendly methods for highly innovative and applied materials. The present book is written by leading experts from around the globe. It covers properties and applications, including synthesis of polymer based nanocomposites from different sources, efficacy and major challenges for successful scale-up fabrication.
