Magnetic Nanoparticles and Polymer Nanocomposites

Polymer composites and semiconductor nanoparticles have attracted much attention during the last decade. The combination of semiconductor nanoparticles with optical polymers yields a new class of materials that offer both transparency and fluorescence characteristics. Nanocomposites of organic and inorganic semiconductors dispersed in polymer matrices are multifunctional materials often used as elements in nonlinear optical devices for the development of renewable energy systems. Magnetic nanocomposites are an emerging group of materials that offer exciting prospects because of their inherent properties.Magnetic Nano particles and Polymer Nanocomposites: Structural, Electrical, and Optical Properties and Applications focuses on the manufacturing and design of innovative magnetic polymeric nanocomposite materials for a broad range of different applications. These materials have truly outstanding and sustainable properties unlike other composites because they are combined with organic materials (polymer matrix) and inorganic (semiconductor nanoparticles) to form a sustainable composite material. The focus is on magnetic semiconductor and polymer nanocomposites made from bioresorbable and biocompatible polymers, modified with magnetic nanoparticles. The book provides detailed knowledge on the modern research application of magnetic semiconductor and polymeric nanocomposites that have tremendous commercial value. The book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, postgraduate students, and engineers working in nanocomposite materials. Covers magnetic nanoparticles and polymer nanocomposites in structural, electrical, and optical applications Provides fundamental knowledge on design, synthesis, properties, manufacturing and applications Emphasis on recent advances in magnetic nanoparticles and polymer nanocomposites Inclusion of different properties and their relevance to the specific application
