Описание: Composites and nanocomposites are used in cases where long durability and strength of components are required; i.e., where high stress levels, erosion processes and multiphase environments are present, including the parts under collision and impact, the parts under rotating motion and erosion (like excavation drills in oil and gas wells).
Описание: Today there is an increased focus on a considerable reduction of the total energy consumption in the world. As the heating of buildings constitutes a large part of this consumption, the development of highly efficient thermal insulation materials is highly demanded. The most promising class are polymeric nanofoams, which might be producible by using the "Principle Of Supercritical Microemulsion Expansion" (POSME). Within this approach, microemulsions with a high number density of CO2 nano-pools in a polymerizable material (e.g. polyol) are used as templates. Adjusting supercritical conditions, the nucleation of gaseous CO2 during the expansion is avoided, so that each CO2-swollen micelle should ideally grow to a nanopore. However, due to aging phenomena, so far only polyurethane (PU) foams with microcellular pores could be produced applying this approach. In order to improve the properties of the foamable microemulsion template, microemulsions of the type water - CO2 - non-ionic fluorinated surfactant (Capstone(R) FS-3100) were studied in the first part of this thesis as a model system. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements for the first time revealed the phase inversion from CO2-swollen micelles in water via bicontinuous structures to water-swollen micelles in CO2. Using a scaling description developed for microemulsions of the type water -alkane - CiEj, the temperature dependence of the length scales found in classical and CO2-microemulsions fall on top of each other. Moreover, the partial replacement of CO2 by cyclohexane was found to increase the efficiency of the fluorinated surfactant to form a bicontinuous microemulsion. This efficiency boosting could be correlated with the increase of the bending rigidities κ0, SANS and κNSE determined by SANS and neutron spin echo (NSE). In the second part of this thesis the gained knowledge was successfully used to formulate CO2-in-polyol microemulsions appropriate for the production of nanocellular PU foams. Usi
Metal Oxide-Based Nanostructured Electrocatalysts for Fuel Cells, Electrolyzers, and Metal-air Batteries is a comprehensive book summarizing the recent overview of these new materials developed to date. The book is motivated by research that focuses on the reduction of noble metal content in catalysts to reduce the cost associated to the entire system. Metal oxides gained significant interest in heterogeneous catalysis for basic research and industrial deployment.
Metal Oxide-Based Nanostructured Electrocatalysts for Fuel Cells, Electrolyzers, and Metal-air Batteries puts these opportunities and challenges into a broad context, discusses the recent researches and technological advances, and finally provides several pathways and guidelines that could inspire the development of ground-breaking electrochemical devices for energy production or storage. Its primary focus is how materials development is an important approach to produce electricity for key applications such as automotive and industrial.
The book is appropriate for those working in academia and R&D in the disciplines of materials science, chemistry, electrochemistry, and engineering.

Описание:
Nanostructured polymer composites are the combination of polymers and inorganic / organic fillers at the nanometer scale. This includes synthetic and natural polymeric structured, but are not limited to, polysaccharides, aliphatic polyesters, polypeptides and proteins, and polynucleic acids; fillers include nano oxides, carbide and nitride of metals, clays, hydroxyapatite, LDH and metal nanoparticles. The interaction between filler components of nanostructured polymer composite at the nanometer scale enables them to act as molecular bridges in the polymer matrix. This is the basis for enhanced mechanical properties of nanocomposite, compared to conventional microcomposites. The uses of these nanocomposites in biomedicine is the focus of this book.
Nanostructured Polymer Composites for Biomedical Applications addresses one of the most promising, but also most difficult, challenges that researchers face: the creation of nanostructured polymer composites that have not only superior performance and mechanical properties but also have acceptable biological function. This book discusses current efforts to meet this challenge. A variety of polymeric bio-nanocomposite materials are generated by the combination of different inorganic nanoparticles with synthetic or natural polymers.
The multidisciplinary nature of nanostructured polymer composite biomaterials brings together researchers from various fields, including materials science, polymer science, biomedical engineering and biomedicine. Such collaborative work often leads to the generation of new terminology and definitions that are used across the individual disciplines. This book will help researchers and engineers in all these fields to develop new products and devices for use in effective medical treatment.
Summarizes the most recent strategies to develop nanostructured polymer composite biomaterials for biomedicine
Outlines the major preparation and characterization techniques for a range of polymer nanocomposites used in biomedicine
Explores the design of new types of nanostructured polymer composites for applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, gene therapy and bone replacement
There is a growing need for better membranes in several emerging application fields especially those related to energy conversion and storage as well as to water treatment and recycling. Processability, is an important functional property, often ignored, especially in the early discovery phase for new materials, but it should be one of the most important properties, that needs to be considered in the development of better membrane materials. Useful membrane materials have to be capable of being formed into thin membranes, in particular for membrane gas separation, water treatment and desalination, and then packaged, into large area membrane modules. All gas separation membranes that are in current commercial use are based on polymers, which are solution-processable. This book intends to deal with composite, in most cases hybrid polymer-based membranes for three separate application fields: energy conversion, energy storage and water treatment and recovery. Each chapter will explain clearly the various membrane processes then go on to discuss in detail the corresponding advanced membranes used. The logic that lies behind this is that you have to understand the process in order to develop new high performance membranes. By taking this approach, the author aims to overcome the disconnection that currently exists between membrane materials scientists and industrial process engineers. Currently, as reported in the paragraph below on COMPETITION, there are no similar books that deal with these three hot topics from the point-of-view of real applications.
