Foreword
Multifunctional materials will play an important role in the next generation of technological devices. Beyond their basic light weight and load bearing properties, they must be able to have integrated thermal, electrical, barrier, sensing, or possible other functionalities. The authors of the new book have recognized that especially polymer nanocomposites can open up new horizons for understanding how multifunctionality can be achieved and systematically designed by the right choice, arrangement, and combination of the nanostructured material components. That is what this book is about and it gives me great pleasure, and indeed pride, to be able to write a foreword to it. Rega
