Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Composites

The purpose of this book is to summarize the basic chemical aspects for obtaining multifunctional carbon nanotube-based polymer composites, but also to highlight some of the most remarkable advances that occurred in the field during the last recent years. The rapid advances in carbon nanotube chemistry have moved towards the creation of functional systems with increased attention to potential applications. Chemically modified CNTs have shown a wide range of physical and chemical properties that have made them attractive for the preparation of super-strong/conductive polymer composite films/fibers, actuators, sensors etc. Contributions from the world's leading scientists in the field make this a highly multidisciplinary, comprehensive reference work suitable for postgraduates and professional researchers in academia and industry.
