Thermal Degradation of Polymer Blends, Composites and Nanocomposites

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

This chapter deals with a brief account of thermal degradation of polymer-based blends, composites and nanocomposites. Different synthesising, preparation and characterisation methods of thermal degradation of polymer-based blends, composites and nanocomposites are discussed. Finally the applications, new challenges and opportunities for these thermal degradation of polymer-based blends, composites and nanocomposites are discussed.
