Raman Spectroscopy Applied to Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites summarizes, in a comprehensive manner, recent research accomplishments in this important area. The book offers an in-depth study of the current state-of-the-art, covering the fundamentals and recent experimental developments. Almost all the characterization techniques coupled in situ with Raman spectroscopy are discussed in detail. The book also covers various aspects of polymer applications, as well as related topics in polymer composites and nanocomposites. Filled polymers, reinforced plastics, thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and rubbers are also discussed.The book is designed to address all aspects of Raman spectroscopy with respect to polymers and measurements, along with experimental conditions. It contains numerous case study examples to illustrate how Raman spectroscopy coupled in situ with more classical techniques can be useful to enhance material performance. - Deals with recent advances in the Raman spectroscopy of polymers and composites with in- situ coupling techniques - Discusses almost all analytical techniques - Focuses on the engineering of high-performance polymer-based nanocomposites - Assists in solving fundamental and applied problems in the development of materials using illustrated case study examples - Provides an up-to-date record on major research findings and observations in the processing of polymers and composites and various applications in biomedical, imaging, and chemometrics settings
