Publisher's Synopsis
iSmithers' third Nanopolymers conference will cover all aspects of this fascinating and rapidly developing field, which is already beginning to impact on polymer users and researchers in most industry sectors. The conference aims to update producers and users involved in polymers - both for components and films - with the latest thoughts and developments which will affect them. Trends in the field of nanocomposites will be covered, along with market data for projected products. Information on the latest developments incorporating nanoclays, carbon nanotubes and grapheme into composites will be given. Other topics will be those which use nanobased polymers for property enhancement, through flame retardancy, heat resistance, durability, antimicrobial activity, selfcleaning properties, conducting materials, and also those offering aesthetic effects.
