Micro- and Nanostructured Multiphase Polymer Blend Systems: Phase Morphology and Interfaces

by Charef Harrats (Editor), Sabu Thomas (Editor), Gabriel Groeninckx (Editor)

Overview

Micro- and Nanostructured Multiphase Polymer Blend Systems: Phase Morphology and Interfaces focuses on the formation of phase morphology in polymer blends and copolymers and considers various types of blends including thermosets, thermoplastics, thermoplastic vulcanizates, and structured copolymers. The book carefully debates the processing

Editorial Reviews

This book provides a clear and complete description of phase morphology and interface in multiphase polymer blends. ...The way the topics are gathered, the selection of the contributors, and the survey of the phase morphology area (from theoretical to practical aspects) make this book an outstanding scientific reference.”
