Advanced polymer-based nanocomposite materials con-

tinue to become increasingly popular and important for a
wide range of engineering applications, as evidenced by
continued government initiatives involving R&D and
commercialization of these substances. In the race to
exploit the unique mechanical, thermal, and electrical
properties of nanocomposite materials, researchers must
also address new challenges to predict, understand, and
manage the potentially adverse effects they could have on
human lives and the environment.
Nano- and Biocomposites focuses on the structural makeup of nanomaterials and their
range of applications. It details the latest research in which biological applications of nanos-
tructural resins have been conducted within in vitro and in vivo environments. Some of the
applications explored in this book include:
• Tissue engineering and growth

• Mechanical and thermal stability enhancement of biocompatible polymers for
artificial joints and scaffolding
• Thermal management for directed energy weapons, deicing, and electronics
• Structural performance for primary and secondary airframe structures, jet engines
• Electrical conductivity for lightning-strike protection, EMI, ESD, and energy storage
• Durability for chemical, wear, flame retardance, permeability
• Health monitoring for NDE certification, damage detection, and long-term degradation
This volume presents important guidelines and new insights to stimulate investigation of
anticipated research in this fascinating new field. Researchers, scientists, and academics will
all appreciate this cutting-edge exploration of nanomaterials, biomaterials, and the ever-
evolving world of nano-biomaterials.
