Dalla quarta di copertina

Among the various multiphase systems, Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) have a unique position since the different polymer chains of the components interpenetrate on different length scales, i.e., micro- or nanoscales. Because of this molecular level interpenetration of the different polymer chains, very often IPNs exhibit outstanding properties and stable morphologies. Polymer scientists have shown strong interest in developing nanostructured functional materials, which have enhanced properties as compared to conventional polymeric systems. IPNs, therefore, have garnered much attention due to their unique morphology and physical properties.

Responding to the resulting need for information on IPNs; this book examines their challenges, opportunities and applications. It focuses on the preparation, characterization and properties of IPN systems and emphasizes nano-structured IPN materials. The book carefully examines the preparation of semi-IPNs, full IPNs, porous networks, and various manufacturing techniques.

Micro- and Nano-structured Interpenetrating Polymer Networks covers all types of IPNs – including those based on exclusively natural polymers (eco-friendly green IPNs), IPNs based on natural and synthetic polymers, and IPNs based on fully synthetic polymers. The book reviews techniques for characterizing IPNs, including microscopy, spectroscopy, and scattering. There is a separate section on the preparation of micro-, meso- and nano-porous networks from IPN systems and the applications of IPNs are discussed in detail.

With contributions from experts across the globe, this survey is an outstanding resource reference for anyone involved in the field of polymer materials design for advanced technologies.
