Visakh P. M. - Polyvinylchloride-based Blends: Preparation, Characterization and Applications

The Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials publishes monographs and edited works in the areas of Polymer Science and Composite Materials. These compound classes form the basis for the development of many new materials for various applications. The series covers biomaterials, nanomaterials, polymeric nanofibers, and electrospun materials, polymer hybrids, composite materials from macro- to nano-scale, and many more; from fundamentals, over the synthesis and development of the new materials, to their applications. The authored or edited books in this series address researchers and professionals, academic and industrial chemists involved in the areas of Polymer Science and the development of new Materials. They cover aspects such as the chemistry, physics, characterization, and material science of Polymers, and Polymer and Composite Materials. The books in this series can serve a growing demand for concise and comprehensive treatments of specific topics in this rapidly growing field. The series will be interesting for researchers working in this field and cover the latest advances in polymers and composite materials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Fibers and Polymers:

Bio- and Nano- Composites:-

This book on Polyvinylchloride (PVC)-based Blends: Preparation, Characterization and Applications covers many of the recent research accomplishments in the area of PVC-based blends. Throughout the book, various topics are addressed, such as the current state of the art of PVC-based blends, new challenges, and opportunities. An emphasis is given to the types and sizes of components/fillers and optimum compositions of PVC blends, their processing and structure-properties relationships, modification/compatibilization methods, and possible applications.

The current book is a valuable reference source for university and college faculties, professionals, postdoctoral research fellows, senior graduate students, and researchers from R&D laboratories working in the area of PVC-based blends. Prominent researchers from industry, academia, and government/private research laboratories across the globe gave their contributions for the chapters within this book. Chapter of this book covers PVC membranes preparation, mathematical modeling, characterization, modification, and applications. Recent studies on bio-based PVC-related blends are summarized in the final chapter, the authors focusing on PVC bio-related nano-blends and bio-based blends of PVC with polyesters, polysaccharides, natural fillers, and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Finally, the editors would like to express their sincere gratitude to all the contributors of this book, who provided excellent commitment and support to the successful completion of this venture. We would like to thank all the reviewers who have taken their valuable time to make critical comments on each chapter. We also thank the publisher Springer for recognizing the demand for such a book and for realizing the increasing importance of the area of Polyvinylchloride (PVC)-based Blends: Preparation, Characterization and Applications.
