Nanomaterials And Nanotechnology For Composites Design Simulation And Applications | Science Client Lines

Engineered nanopolymer and nanoparticles with their extraordinary mechanical and unique electronic properties have garnered much attention in recent years. With a broad range of potential applications including nanoelectronics composites chemical sensors biosensors microscopy nanoelectromechanical systems and many more the scientific community is more motivated than ever to move beyond basic properties and explore the real issues associated with carbon nanotube-based applications. Engineered nanopolymer and nanoparticles are exceptionally interesting from a fundamental research point of view. They open up new perspectives for various applications such as nano-transistors in circuits field-emission displays artificial muscles or added reinforcements in alloys. This informative book is an introduction to the physical concepts needed for investigating carbon nanotubes and other one-dimensional solid-state systems. Written for a wide scientific readership each chapter consists of an instructive approach to the topic and sustainable ideas for solutions. This new book presents leading-edge research in this dynamic field. It reviews the recent progress in application of engineered nanopolymer and nanoparticles and their composites. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods are discussed. The ability of continuum methods to bridge different scales is emphasized. Recommendations for future research are given by focusing on what each method has to learn from the nano-scale. The scope of the book is to provide current knowledge to support researchers entering the scientific area of carbon nanotubes and help them choose the appropriate modeling tool for accomplishing their study and where to place their efforts to further improve continuum methods. |Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology for Composites Design Simulation and Applications | Science Client Lines
