About this ebook

Polymer-Based Nanostructured Barrier Materials presents the latest technologies in nanostructured barrier materials, covering processing, characterization, and applications.The book begins by discussing the various polymeric materials that may be used in barrier materials, including thermoplastics, thermoset polymers, elastomers and specialty elastomer, and biopolymers. This is followed by detailed coverage of barrier mechanisms, testing standards, theoretical modelling and simulation, and industrial requirements of nanostructured barrier materials in a packaging context. The subsequent chapters guide the reader through the preparation of nanostructured barrier materials with specific properties or specific advanced applications, including edible packaging, active and intelligent packaging, corrosion protection, tire engineering, environmental remediation, and other novel applications.This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students in nanomaterials, barrier materials, coatings, polymer science, packaging, chemistry, and materials science and engineering, as well as industrial scientists, engineers, and R&D professionals with an interest in barrier materials and advanced nanomaterials. - Covers nanostructured barrier materials from thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and biopolymers - Supports implementation, explaining testing standards, modelling and simulation, barrier requirements, and materials selection - Offers the latest techniques, trends, and applications in barrier-related materials at the nanoscale
