Liquid Crystal Polymer Nanocomposites summarizes in a comprehensive manner, numerous modern technical research accomplishments on the development of nanocomposites from liquid crystalline polymers. As the title indicates, the book emphasizes various studies at the nano-scale. Topics covered include: liquid crystalline block copolymers, liquid crystalline epoxy nanocomposites, barrier property studies of liquid crystalline epoxy and their nanocomposites, liquid crystalline polymer-based microfibrillar and nanofibrillar composites, liquid crystalline polymer/nanoplatelet nanocomposites, liquid-crystalline elastomer/graphene oxide nanocomposites, and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers.

Liquid Crystal Polymer Nanocomposites provides detailed information on methods of preparation, the properties of these materials and discussion on the structure-properties relationship. With its emphasis on data and experimental results the authors illustrate how the liquid crystal structure can have an impact on the final properties of the nanocomposite. The book is an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers working in liquid crystalline polymers, materials scientists, and engineers and all those people working in this specialist field.
