Their dimensions, biodegradable character, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability are among the main drivers for increasing demand.
However, it is difficult to achieve uniform dispersion between the carbon filler and matrix as it easily forms agglomerations. Production of nanocarbon polymer biocomposites with high mechanical and thermal properties is also limited, but there has been rapid progress in processing possibilities to produce nanocomposites based on various biodegradable fillers.
Advanced Nanocarbon Polymer Biocomposites: Sustainability Towards Zero Biowaste collects all these novel scientific findings in one place. It discusses in detail their physical, chemical, and electrical properties and presents the latest research findings on nanocarbon polymer biocomposites with filler loadings and their improvement on compatibility. The book will be of great interest for those researchers who are concerned with the production and use of nanocarbon polymer biocomposites as a new innovative advanced material.
- Emphasis on nanoscale fillers and their improvement on compatibility
- Evaluates the impact of polymer production through life cycle analysis of both single and hybrid polymers and nanocomposites
- A strong focus on sustainability and green chemistry perspectives
