Preface

This book on “Thermal Degradation of Polymer Blends, Composites and Nanocomposites” summarizes many of the recent research accomplishments in the area of thermal stability of polymer blends, composites, and nanocomposites such as advances in thermal degradation of blend, composites and nanocomposites, thermal degradation of thermosetting blends, thermal degradation of thermosetting nanocomposites, effect of thermo-oxidation on the mechanical performance of polymer-based composites for high temperature applications, analysis for thermal degradation of a polymer by factor analysis, radiation effects on polymer-based systems, thermal degradation of synthetic rubber nanocomposites, outdoor exposure degradation of ethylene-vinyl-acetate, encapsulant material for photovoltaic application, thermal degradation of bio-nanocomposites, etc. As the title indicates, the book emphasizes the various aspects of thermal stability of polymer blends, composites, and nanocomposites. This book is intended to serve as a “one stop” reference re
