Request a sales quoteMathematical Property Models in Polymer Composite Materials covers the various challenges for new property combinations and how these challenges can use fillers with different characteristics as reinforcements. Predictive calculations for structural and functional properties are often ignored. Consequently, the efforts for development of a product rely on an empirical approach to see what works. The gap between research and practice is still wide and needs to be narrowed. This book with its emphasis on Predictive estimations of properties will narrow that gap between research and practice.
This book will be the first of its kind to detail the application and use of mathematical property models for estimating the properties of polymer composite materials.
- Explains introductory concepts of using mathematical property models for predicting properties of composite materials
- Covers all aspects of predictive calculations for structural and functional properties
- Contains numerous case studies and applications
