Nanocomposite Manufacturing Technologies: Fundamental Principles, Mechanisms, and Processing

by Alokesh Pramanik (Editor), Animesh Basak (Editor), Yu Dong (Editor), Chander Prakash (Editor), J. Paulo Davim (Editor)

Overview

Nanocomposite Manufacturing Technologies provides the latest research in innovative manufacturing methods to produce nanocomposite materials for a range of applications. Nanocomposite material research has advanced rapidly in the past decade, revealing important insights into the nature of fiber or particle reinforcements on a nanoscale, unique properties, and specific new-generation uses. Emerging techniques such as additive manufacturing, friction stir processing, and rapid prototyping are opening a new era for nanocomposite manufacturing , and this comes with certain challenges. This book collates the most important of related research findings into a single volume and presents them alongside the latest advances in manufacturing technology to provide a coherent resource for students, researchers, and industrial R&D staff to navigate this field. Detailed descriptions of nanocomposite manufacturing processes help readers to understand the differences between them and to choose which process or combination of processes will lead to the material that solves a specific design challenge and advances product development.
