About the Book and Audience
Nanocomposites generated using conducting polymers as well as conducting fillers have emerged as materials of high relevance owing to superior electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, which enable their use for a large variety of commercial applications. Recent advancements towards the expansion of the family of conducting polymer systems as well as functional conducting fillers have further revolutionized the interest in conducting composites. In this respect, the main aim of the book is to summarize the fundamental aspects related to synthesis and properties of various conducting composites, along with focusing on the wide spectrum of their applications. The book is a valuable reference for polymer, chemical, biochemical and materials engineers, as well as practicing scientists and researchers in both academia and industry. It is also a useful resource for postgraduate university students in chemical, polymer and materials disciplines, along with interdisciplinary streams.
