Based Blends, IPNs, Composites and Nanocomposites

Herausgegeben: Ajitha, A. R.; Thomas, Sabu

Beschreibung

This book explains general concepts of an important engineering thermoplastic polymer-polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). It describes preparation methods, characterization techniques, and various applications of PTT-based blends, IPNs, and composites. It also gives a clear idea about the engineering thermoplastic, PTT, and its importance in future. In addition to the basic concepts of PTT-based materials, the book also includes novel studies and issues on this topic. This book is an outcome of contributions by experts from different disciplines with various backgrounds and expertise. This book is useful for professionals, researchers, industrial practitioners, graduate students, and senior undergraduates of polymer science and engineering. Additionally, it is also beneficial for researchers working on materials science, surface science, bioengineering, chemical engineering, and nanomaterials. This book helps the researchers and students in expanding their knowledge in this field.

Autor

Ajitha AR completed her Ph.D. in Polymer Science and currently working as assistant professor at MES College Marampally, Kerala. She received a patent for an invention entitled "A Poly (Trimethylene Terephthalate)/polypropylene blend nanocomposites- for effective electromagnetic shielding material for electronic applications" in 2021. Dr. Ajitha has over 6 years of experience in this field, and her research areas include the preparation of nanocomposites, their characterization, and modification of nanofillers. Dr. Ajitha has published eight research articles in international journals and edited one book and ten book chapters.   Sabu Thomas is currently a vice chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University. He is also a full professor of Polymer Science and Engineering at the School of Chemical Sciences of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India, and the founder director and the professor of the International and Inter-University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Dr. Thomas's ground-breaking inventions in polymer nanocomposites, polymer blends, green bionanotechnological, and nano-biomedical sciences have made transformative differences in the development of new materials for automotive, space, housing, and biomedical fields. In collaboration with India's premier tyre company, Apollo Tyres, Professor Thomas's group invented new high-performance barrier rubber nanocomposite membranes for inner tubes and inner liners for tyres. Prof Thomas has published over 1000 peer-reviewed research papers, reviews, and book chapters. He has co-edited and written 137 books published by Royal Society, Wiley, Wood head, Elsevier, CRC Press, Springer, Nova, etc. He is the inventor of 15 patents. Prof Thomas has guided nearly 107 Ph.D. scholars in India and abroad. Prof Thomas is an outstanding leader with sustained international acclaim for his work in nanoscience, polymer science and engineering, polymer nanocomposites, elastomers,polymer blends, interpenetrating polymer networks, polymer membranes, green composites and nanocomposites, nanomedicine, and green nanotechnology.
