Overview

This book presents an overview of polymer nanocomposites for use in various high-temperature applications. Specifically, it focuses on the structure and physical properties of nanocomposites based on heterocyclic matrices derived from nitrile monomers such as cyanate esters or phthalonitriles. Due to increasing interest in new heat-resistant, lightweight materials for use in extreme conditions, such as in aeronautics, microelectronics, and various industrial machinery, the high thermal stability of heterocyclic polymer networks, in particular, has attracted much attention from materials researchers and engineers. Featuring a comprehensive review of the most recent advances in research on the structure and physical properties of these promising high-temperature polymer nanocomposites, this book will be of particular interest to materials scientists and engineers working throughout the fields of aeronautical and microelectronic engineering. In general, this book is intended for use by researchers of composite materials and specialists engaged in material selection for work in extreme conditions; for students specializing in materials science; for polymer physicists, and for university libraries.

Author Information

Prof. Dr. Sci. Vladimir A. Bershtein Vladimir A. Bershtein, born in Leningrad (St.-Petersburg, Russia), was graduated Master’s degree on polymers technology from Leningrad Technological Institute in 1954. He completed his PhD degree in  1963 and Dr. Sci. (Phys.-Math.) dissertation in 1980. He is Professor from 1991. From 1965 up to now he is  Leading Research Scientist and Head of research group in Materials Dynamics Laboratory, Department of Solid State Physics, at the Ioffe Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St.-Petersburg, Russia. Dr. Pavel N. Yakushev Pavel N. Yakushev, born in Leningrad, Russia, graduated Master’s degree on Electronics from named at present Peter the Great St.-Petersburg Polytechnic University in 1977, and then joined to  the Solid State Physics Department of the Ioffe Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he completed his PhD in 1988 and now is a Senior researcher. Having worked at several  laboratories abroad within the framework of international exchange programs, he e.g. spent a half an year at  the  Ford Research Laboratories,  Dearborn,  USA. Currently, he is investigating the anomalies of segmental dynamics, nanoscale dynamic/structural/compositional heterogeneity, and  nanostructure-dynamics-properties relationships in complex polymer systems and nanocomposites.
