Preface
This book ‘‘Advances in Elastomers-II: Their Composites and Nanocomposites’’
summarizes many of the recent technical research accomplishments in the area of
elastomer-based composites and nanocomposites. As the title indicates, the book
emphasizes the various aspects of preparation, structure, processing, morphology,
properties, and applications of elastomer-based composites and nanocomposites,
in a systematic and comprehensive manner. Recent advances in the development
and characterization of multicomponent polymer composites and nanocomposites
based on elastomers are discussed in detail. It is important to mention that till date,
there are not many books published on the recent advances in the synthesis,
morphology, structure, properties, and applications of elastomer-based composites
and nanocomposites. The book discussed in various chapters topics such as
elastomer macrocomposites, elastomer-based nanocomposites, interphase modifi-
cation and compatiblization of rubber-based nanocomposites, fully green elasto-
mer nanocomposites, elastomeric micro and nanocomposites for tire applications:
past, present, and future elastomer-based bionanocomposites, and physical phe-
nomena related to free volumes in rubbers and blends.
It covers an up-to-date record on the major findings and observations in the field
of elastomer-based composites and nanocomposites. The book is intended to serve
as a ‘‘one stop’’ reference resource for important research accomplishments in this
area. The various chapters in the book have been contributed by prominent
researchers from the industry, academia, and government/private research labo-
ratories across the globe. This book will be a valuable reference source for uni-
versity and college faculties, professionals, post-doctoral research fellows, senior
graduate students, polymer technologists, and researchers from R&D laboratories
working in the area of elastomer-based composites and nanocomposites.
The first chapter on ‘‘Advances in Elastomers-II: Their Composites and
Nanocomposites’’, gives an overview of the advances in composites and nano-
composites on state-of-art new challenges and opportunities. This chapter is essential
for beginners in these fields as it provides a thorough basic understanding of the
elastomer-based composites and nanocomposites. The following chapter on
‘‘Elastomer Macrocomposites’’ gives an introduction to elastomer macrocompos-
ites, elastomer-based macrocomposites, recent studies on elastomer-based macro-
composites, different manufacturing methods of elastomer-based macrocomposites,
