This highlights ongoing research efforts on different aspects of
polymer nanocomposites and explores their potentials to exhibit
multi-functional properties. In this context, it addresses both
fundamental and advanced concepts, while delineating the
parameters and mechanisms responsible for these potentials.
Aspects considered include embrittlement/toughness; wear/scratch
behaviour; thermal stability and flame retardancy; barrier,
electrical and thermal conductivity; and optical and magnetic
properties.

Further, the book was written as a coherent unit rather than a
collection of chapters on different topics. As such, the results,
analyses and discussions presented herein provide a guide for the
development of a new class of multi-functional nanocomposites.
Offering an invaluable resource for materials researchers and
postgraduate students in the polymer composites field, they will
also greatly benefit materials
