Scrutinizing various fillers, such as fly ash, inorganic nanoparticles, Kevlar and wood flour, this book exemplifies how the choice of filler influences the micro- and macroscopic behavior of the resulting polymer composites, such as friction, wear and impact resistance.
In so doing, the text brings together a number of composite systems using different polymer matrices, different filler systems as well as different processing conditions, thereby serving as a beneficial guide for readers so as to select a particular set of processing conditions or composite constituents for the enhancement of certain properties.

1. Fly Ash As Filler in Biodegradable Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Composite Films
2. Influence of Surface Treatment of Fillers on Flammability and Tensile Behavior of Polymer Composites
3. Effect of Mechanical and Chemical Modification of Tio2 Nanoparticles on the Performance of Polymer Ultrafiltration Membranes
4. Effects of Particle Size, Particle/Matrix Interface Adhesion and Loading on Mechanical Properties of Polymer Composites
5. Role of Reinforcing Ceramic Particles in the Wear Behavior of Polymer Composites
6. Treatment of Wood Flour and Its Effect on the Properties of Polymer/Wood Composites
7. Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
8. Predictions of Tensile Strength of Short Inorganic Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
9. Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Properties of Carbon-Fiber Polymer Composites
10. Crystallization and Processing Behavior of the Polyamide Composites Reinforced with Kevlar Fibers
11. Impact Behavior of Short Fiber/Liquid Crystal Polymer Composites
12. A Novel Technique for Determining the 3D Spatial Distribution of Glass Fibers in Polymer Composites
13. Fracture Behavior of Steel Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
