This book lays the theoretical foundations and emphasizes the close
connection between theory and experiment to optimize models and
real-life procedures for the various stages of polymer composite
development. As such, it covers quantum-mechanical approaches to
understand the chemical processes on an atomistic level, molecular
mechanics simulations to predict the filler surface dynamics,
finite element methods to investigate the macro-mechanical
behavior, and thermodynamic models to assess the temperature
stability. The whole is rounded off by a look at multiscale models
that can simulate properties at various length and time scales in
one go -- and with predictive accuracy.
