About the Book and Audience
Polymer nanomaterials have revolutionized the field of materials science owing to an accurate control on their structure-property correlations, which leads to their superior performance profiles. As a result, many polymeric nanomaterials have been developed over the years for a large number of specialty applications. These applications include gas and humidity sensors, bio-separations, solar cells, water treatment, drug delivery, tissue engineering, anti- corrosion coatings, EMI shielding, thermal insulation, oil spill clean up, etc. The book presents recent developments in the generation of a large variety of nanomaterials for these applications. The book serves as a comprehensive reference for polymer, materials, chemical and biochemical engineers. The information contained in the book is equally beneficial for practicing scientists, academicians and industrial researchers. The book is also a useful text for the postgraduate university students in various engineering disciplines.
