Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Hybrid Polymeric Nanocomposites from Agricultural Waste 1st Edition 2022 Hardbound by Bello, Sefiu Adekunle
Hybrid Polymeric Nanocomposites from Agricultural Waste examines the use of agricultural by-products for green production of new materials. It covers nanoparticle synthesis from agricultural wastes and nanocomposite development with a focus on polyethylene, polylactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate, and epoxy resins, and considers possible biomedical and engineering applications. _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Showcases agricultural waste as polymer reinforcements to replace expensive synthetic fibres that discourage wide polymeric nanocomposite applications _x000D_Discusses green synthesis and characterisation of hybrid nanocomposites from polylactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate, recycled/new polyethylene, and epoxy resins _x000D_Contrasts hybrid nanocomposites properties with standard nanocomposites, using automotive case studies _x000D__x000D_The book is aimed at researchers, advanced students, and industrial professionals in materials, polymer, and mechanical engineering and related areas interested in the development and application of sustainable materials._x000D_ _x000D_
