CWP PUBLISHING Ageing and Degradation of Polymer Nanomaterials (Materials Science)

A large variety of degradation environments have varying degrees of effect on the properties and performance of polymeric materials. In order to sustain the usefulness of the polymeric materials over longer periods of time, it is of vital importance to understand the various ageing and degradation phenomena taking place when the materials are subjected to different degradation environments. In this respect, the current books presents deep insights into the ageing and degradation processes of various commercially important polymeric nanomaterials. The book is a valuable reference for polymer, chemical and materials engineers, as well as practicing scientists and researchers in both academia and industry. It is also a useful resource for postgraduate university students in chemical, polymer and materials disciplines, along with interdisciplinary streams.
