Summary This book examines the current state of the art, new challenges, opportunities and applications in the area of polymer nanocomposites. Special attention has been paid to the processing-morphology-structure- property relationship of the system. Various unresolved issues and new challenges in the field of polymer nanocompostes are discussed. The influence of preparation techniques (processing) on the generation of morphologies and the dependence of these morphologies on the properties of system are treated in detail. This book also illustrates different techniques used for the characterization o
