About the Book and Audience
Advancements in polymer science have led to the development of functional polymeric materials with optimal property profiles and superior commercial relevance. As a result, an increasing number of polymeric materials are gradually replacing glass and metals in a wide variety of applications. In fact, almost all domains of materials have been significantly influenced by the polymers. The development of polymeric hybrids by incorporating a large number of organic and inorganic phases leads to the further enhancement of their application spectrum. In this respect, the current book presents a variety of functional polymeric systems developed in the recent past for advanced applications in diverse areas.
The book is a valuable reference for polymer, chemical 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.
