Riassunto

Polymer Science and Innovative Applications: Materials, Techniques, and Future Developments introduces the science of innovative polymers and composites, their analysis via experimental techniques and simulation, and their utilization in a variety of application areas. This approach helps to unlock the potential of new materials for product design and other uses. The book also examines the role that these applications play in the human world, from pollution and health impacts, to their potential to make a positive contribution in areas including environmental remediation, medicine and healthcare, and renewable energy. Advantages, disadvantages, possibilities, and challenges relating to the utilization of polymers in human society are included.

• Presents the latest advanced applications of polymers and their composites and identifies key areas for future development
• Introduces the simulation methods and experimental techniques involved in the modification of polymer properties, supported by clear and detailed images and diagrams
• Supports an interdisciplinary approach, enabling readers across different fields to harness the power of new materials for innovative applications

Dalla quarta di copertina

Polymer Applications in the Modern World: Techniques, Requirements, and Future Prospects introduces the science of innovative polymers and composites, their analysis via experimental techniques and simulation, and their utilization in a variety of application areas. This approach helps to unlock the potential of new materials for product design and other uses. The book also examines the role that these applications play in the human world, from pollution and health impacts, to their potential to make a positive contribution in areas including environmental remediation, medicine and healthcare, and renewable energy.The book begins by considering the advantages, disadvantages, possibilities, and challenges relating to the utilization of polymers in human society, before studying in detail the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of polymers. The next part of the book describes how to produce and improve the properties of polymers, through non-experimental procedures and experimental analysis techniques. The fourth section is dedicated to the common real world applications of polymers, and covers major, cutting-edge fields such as biomedical, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, electronics, optics, and packaging. Finally, the current trends and future needs of polymers are presented, with particular attention to environmental and health aspects.This is an essential resource for anyone approaching polymer properties, modification, processing, and applications, from another background. In academia, the book enables researchers, scientists and advanced students, from a diverse range of fields, to conduct interdisciplinary research across materials science and engineering. In industry, this information supports engineers, designers, technologists and researchers, looking to utilize polymer materials or to develop plastics products.
