In recent years, multicomponent polymers have generated much interest due to their excellent properties, unique morphology, and high-end applications. This book focuses on thermal, thermo-mechanical, and dielectric analysis of polymers and multicomponent polymeric systems such as blends, interpenetrating polymeric networks (IPNs), gels, polymer composites, and nanocomposites. Through these analyses, it provides an insight into the stability of polymer systems as a function of time, processing, and usage. Aimed at polymer chemists, physicists, and engineers, it also covers ASTM/ISO and other standards of various measurement techniques for systematic analysis in materials science.

Thermal, thermo-mechanical and dielectric analysis of polymers and multicomponent polymeric systems. Theoretical aspects of Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Simultaneous Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) / Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Analysis. Application Of Tga And Dta To Polymeric Systems (Neat Polymeric Systems. Applications of TGA and DTA to multicomponent Polymeric systems including blends, IPNs, composites. Multi-physics modeling and simulation of the effective thermal conductivity of polymeric composites. Application of DSC to polymeric systems. Theoretical aspects of Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. A Review on Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites. Dielectric analysis: main concepts, instrumentation, basic theoretical analysis.
