Preface

Nanotechnology is one of the most emerging areas of current research and development due to its vast applications in engineering sectors. Polymer nanocomposites occupy a special position due to their wide range of application. The significant difference between the properties of the neat polymers and their corresponding polymer nanocomposites is due to the remarkable effect of the nanofillers on the polymer matrix. It has been recognized that polymer nanocomposites are very important materials for coating, adhesive, pharmaceutical, biomedical, environmental, automobile, and dielectric applications. This volume aims to provide information on polymer nanocomposites with special reference to specific application spread over nine chapters. ▶ Chapter 1 of the book is subdivided into two parts. Part (a) provides the information on the introduction to clay and carbon-based nanofillers, their synthesis, and man
