Exploring Polymer Composites from Characterizations to Designs
Synopsis
Exploring Polymer Composites from Characterisation to Design explains the advancement, characterisation, and applications of polymer composites with a focus on sustainability and innovation. The book begins with an exploration of eco-conscious design principles for polymer composites, followed by in-depth studies on cellulose nanoparticles, covering their chemical composition, morphology, crystallinity, and thermal stability, highlighting their potential as fillers for advanced composites. It further examines the integration of nanocellulose into polypropylene, showcasing enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. Emphasising design, the book explores configuration factors for composite optimisation and conceptual designs for bio-based products such as automotive components and agricultural tools. The final chapter highlights the industrial significance of bamboo-based composites as a renewable and high-performance material. This comprehensive work serves as a vital resource for researchers, engineers, and students, bridging the gap between material characterisation and innovative design in polymer composites.
