About This Book
Polyimides: Advances in Blends and Nanocomposites brings together the latest research in the area of polyimide-based blends and nanocomposites, opening the door to a range of cutting-edge applications. The book begins by discussing polyimide architectures, synthetic pathways, processing, properties, challenges and application potential before introducing polyimide-based blends and nanocomposites and explaining the modification of polyimide chains for high performance composites matrices. This is followed by chapters offering detailed, methodical coverage of each main type of blend and nanocomposite, covering preparation techniques, structures, properties and current and emerging applications.Throughout the book's chapters, there is an emphasis on methods for high-performance polyimide-based materials, with a constant orientation towards applications and additional in-depth coverage at the end of the book on three key application areas, gas separation, fuel cells, and biomedical applications. This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across polymer science, composite science, nanotechnology, materials chemistry, biomaterials, and chemical engineering, as well as R&D professionals, scientists and engineers working with polyimide-based materials for advanced industrial applications.
