Unsaturated Polyester Resins: Blends, Interpenetrating Polymer Networks, Composites, and Nanocomposites

Unsaturated Polyester Resins: Blends, IPNs, Composites, and Nanocomposites explains the preparation, techniques and applications relating to the use of unsaturated polyester resin systems for blends, interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs), gels, composites, and nanocomposites, enabling the reader to understand and utilize the improved material properties that UPRs facilitate. The book begins by introducing unsaturated polyester resins and their interaction at the macro, micro and nano levels. Synthesis and characterization are then discussed, with morphological, thermal, mechanical and dynamic properties examined in detail. The reader is then provided with in-depth studies on the properties and analysis of UPR based materials, covering microscopic, spectroscopic, scattering, rheological, ageing, self-healing and modelling aspects. Finally, the book presents the applications of UPR based composites, blends, IPNs and gels, across a range of advanced commercial and industrial fields. This is a highly detailed source of information on unsaturated polyester resins, supporting academics, researchers and postgraduate students working with UPRs, polyesters, polymeric or composite materials, polymer chemistry, polymer physics, and materials science, as well as scientists, R&D professionals, and engineers in industry who are involved in the development or engineering of high-performance materials for polymer-based products.
