Preface

Elastomers are a very important class of polymer materials and the generation of their nanocomposites by the incorporation of nano-fillers has led to the enhancement of their properties significantly and hence expansion of their application potential. The book aims to specifically review the recent progresses in the synthesis, processing as well as applications of the elastomeric nanocomposites. The contents of the book are classified into three broad categories: first one dealing with introduction and preparation of the elastomeric nanocomposites, the second one focusing on the characterization and properties of the formed composites, whereas the third one describing the application potential of these materials. Chapter 1 describes the role of different nanoparticles in reinforcing elastomers. Homogenous dispersion of the filler and subsequent microstructure development in the composites have been focused upon. Chapter 2 explains the important synt
