Reinforcement of Polymer Nano-Composites by G. Heinrich, T.A. Vilgis, M. Klüppel Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An exploration of the physics behind elastomer reinforcement over all relevant length scales, using methods ranging from statistical physics to experimental techniques. Reinforcing fillers are discussed in detail, with particular attention paid to their use in high-performance rubber. This book is ideal for researchers and professionals working in polymer science. Publisher Description Reinforced rubber allows the production of passenger car tires with improved rolling resistance and wet grip. This book provides in-depth coverage of the physics behind elastomer reinforcement, with a particular focus on the modification of polymer properties using active fillers such as carbon black and silica. The authors build a firm theoretical base through a detailed discussion of the physics of polymer chains and matrices before moving on to describe reinforcing fillers and their applications in the improvement of the mechanical properties of high-performance rubber materials. Reinforcement is explored on all relevant length scales, from molecular to macroscopic, using a variety of methods ranging from statistical physics and computer simulations to experimental techniques. Presenting numerous technological applications of reinforcement in rubber such as tire tread compounds, this book is ideal for academic researchers and professionals working in polymer science.
