Conductive Polymers and Their Nanocomposites deals with conjugated polymers known as inherently conducting polymers (ICPs) and polymer conductive nanomaterials and nanocomposites
First, there is a brief overview on chemical structure, synthesis, properties, processing, and nanostructures. The second part of the book deals with the main concepts attributed to conducting nanofillers and their synthesis, preparation and properties of conductive polymer nanocomposites. Then there is a discussion of conductive polymer nanocomposites containing carbon nanomaterials and ICPs as the conductive fillers. Modelling, simulation, and predictions of properties of the ICPs is reviewed based on quantum mechanical calculations, which also include mathematical modeling strategies for conductive polymer nanocomposites. Environmental and health concerns associated with ICPs and conductive polymer nanocomposites are touched on. Applications of ICPs and conductive polymer nanocomposites in various are summarized; these applications include organic electronics, environmental protection technologies, biomedical applications, corrosion protection, smart materials, sensors, packaging, and catalysis. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of the current challenges and future perspectives in the field of conductive polymers and their composites.
Conductive Polymers and Their Nanocomposites is suitable for researchers and practitioners in academia and R&D in industry in the disciplines of materials science and engineering.
