{"product_id":"carbon-nanotubes-for-polymer-reinforcement","title":"Carbon Nanotubes for Polymer Reinforcement","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscovered in the twentieth century, carbon nanotubes (CNT) were an integral part of science and industry by the beginning of the twenty first century, revolutionizing chemistry, physics, and materials science. More recent advances in carbon nanotube production methods have resulted in a tremendous push to incorporate CNTs into polymer matrices. Although many advances have been made, two major obstacles continue unresolved: the enhancement of interfacial adhesion between CNTs and polymer matrix, and the improvement of dispersion of CNTs in polymers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth substantial original contributors to the field, the authors present \u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Nanotubes for Polymer Reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e, the first monograph on various conventional and innovative techniques to disperse and functionalize carbon nanotubes for polymer reinforcement, elegantly explaining the basic sciences and technologies involved in those processes.
