Designed for a graduate materials course, this up-to-date text guides readers through the ever-advancing field of polymer blends and composites, with special reference to synthesis and mechanical behaviour. It includes coverage of the thermodynamics of polymer blend miscibility, polymer surfaces and interfaces, the mechanisms of fracture and fracture resistance and how two-phased systems can impart toughness and more. Impact resistant plastics, coatings, aerospace and other applications are also discussed.
