In the large field of nanotechnology, polymer matrix based nanocomposites have become a
prominent area of current research and development. Exfoliated clay-based …

For the last decades, nanocomposites materials have been widely studied in the scientific
literature as they provide substantial properties enhancements, even at low nanoparticles …

The mixing of polymers and nanoparticles is opening pathways for engineering flexible
composites that exhibit advantageous electrical, optical, or mechanical properties. Recent …

During the last decades, the number of vehicles per citizen as well as the traffic speed and
load has dramatically increased. This sudden and somehow unplanned overloading has …

This synthesis explores the state-of-the-knowledge and state-of-the-practice regarding the
latest updates on polymer-modified bitumens (PmBs). The information in this study was …

Plastics have numerous properties that render them superior to other materials in many
applications. Since the past 50 years, the use of plastics has dramatically increased in our …

Hybrid ternary blends comprising two polymers and one mineral (nano) filler are
increasingly studied because they are starting to be widely used to respond to industrial …

This book is dedicated to thermoset resins, an important class of polymer materials. Unlike
thermoplastics, thermoset resins are characterised by a curing reaction, which converts the …

The present review aims at summarizing the current knowledge on how solid nanoparticles
organize in polymer blends. First, the behavior of low viscosity fluid emulsions containing …

Being less dependent on non-renewable resources as well as protecting the environment
from waste streams have become two critical primers for a global movement toward …
