This authoritative and comprehensive multi-author volume provides a useful summary of updated knowledge on polymer composites in general, practically integrating experimental studies, theoretical analyses and computational modeling at different scales, i.e. from nano- to macro- scale. Detailed consideration is given to four major areas: structure and properties of polymer nanocomposites; characterization and modeling; processing and application of macro-composites; and mechanical performance of macro-composites.
