About this ebook

Carbon-Based Polymer Nanocomposites for Environmental and Energy Applications provides the fundamental physico-chemical characterizations of recently explored carbon-based polymer nanocomposites, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, nanodiamond, fullerenes and other nano-sized carbon allotropes. The book also covers the applications of carbon-based polymer nanocomposite in the environmental and energy fields. Topics range from the various approaches that have been explored and developed for the fabrication of carbon-based polymer nanocomposite, to their applications in tackling environmental and energy related issues. - Provides a clear picture of the current state-of-the-art and future trends in carbon-based polymer nanomaterials - Explains the interactions between nanofiller-polymer matrices and mechanisms related to applications in environmental pollution and energy shortage - Includes computational and experimental studies of the physical and chemical properties of carbon-based polymer nanocomposites - Features chapters written by world leading experts
