Polymeric and Nanostructured Materials: Synthesis, Properties, and Advanced Applications provide in-depth knowledge and recent research on polymers and nanostructured materials from synthesis to advanced applications. Leading researchers from industry, academia, government and private research institutions across the globe have contributed to this volume.

The book is divided into three sections, covering:

research on nanocomposites

research on polymer technology

research on electrochemistry

Without a doubt, the editors state, hybrid materials will soon generate smart materials and will play a major role in the development of advanced functional materials. The goal of this book is to coordinate many smart nanomaterials and their recent developments in science and technology.

This will be a valuable addition to the library of postgraduate students, engineers, research scholars, and industry professionals.
