Rubber nanocomposite book published

ERJ staff report (RD)

Dublin, Ireland -- John Wiley has published a new book titled, Rubber Nanocomposites: Preparation, Properties and Applications to its offering. The 896-page book was first published in June 2010 and is available for a price of around Euro 249, depending on delivery options.

The publishers say, "The book carefully debates the preparation of unmodified and modified nanofillers, various manufacturing techniques of rubber nanocomposites, structure, morphology and properties of nanocomposites. The text reviews the processing; characterisation and properties of 0-, 1D and 2D nanofiller reinforced rubber nanocomposites. It examines the polymer/filler interaction, i.e., the compatibility between matrix and filler using unmodified and modified nanofillers. The book also examines the applications of rubber nanocomposites in various engineering fields, which include tyre engineering."
