    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book
    Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2010
    This is a good book, it covers all various types of polymer nanocomposites (from nano-clays, carbon black, CSCNTs (CNFs), CNTs) in sufficient detail to grasp an understanding of what each is all about. One of the better reference texts on the subject, especially given its wide range material covered.
