This comprehensive reference book focuses on the aging and durability of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, exploring their applications, environmental impacts, and long-term performance in various conditions. Edited by Arya Uthaman, Sabu Thomas, and Hiran Mayookh Lal, the book is part of the Woodhead Publishing Series in Composites Science and Engineering. It covers topics such as the effects of hygrothermal aging, water absorption, and environmental conditions like seawater and alkaline media on polymer composites. The book also discusses the durability of these materials in civil engineering applications, methods to improve adhesion, and the combined effects of sustained loads and environmental factors on FRP composites. This resource is intended for professionals, researchers, and students in materials science and engineering, providing insights into the latest research and practical applications of polymer composites.

This book highlights the pulchritudinous features of FRP composites emphasizing failure criteria referring to microstructural as well as micromechanical aspects. The potential and promises of this class of material as being explored for supercritical applications necessitate the analysis and assessment of FRPs with a spectrum of low to high strain rates. Additionally, constitutive modeling and shock properties of polymeric composites along with the data processing techniques and relevant theories for different characterization methods are conversed. The findings of previous studies available on mechanical characteristics of polymer composites under quasi-static and high-strain-rate circumstances are also discussed. The dearth of open literature and limited information culminate the need for this book which may eventually bridge the existing gap. .

This book explores recent developments in electrically conducting graphene-containing polymer composites for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and flame-retardant applications. It emphasizes the exceptional performance of graphene and graphene-based materials in these composites. The comprehensive overview covers the fundamental principles of EMI shielding, flame retardancy, and polymer composite processing, addressing critical aspects related to the development of advanced graphene-containing materials. The book aims to fill the gap in reviews that specifically focus on EMI shielding and flame retardancy fundamentals, processing techniques, and application-specific developments. An important aspect discussed is the customization of electrical properties through blend morphology modification and selective localization of graphene-based nanofillers. This aspect has not been adequately covered in previous articles or books. By addressing this research gap, the book becomes an essential resource for researchers seeking a deeper understanding of molecular aspects and result interpretation. With a focus on processing advanced functional composite materials for EMI shielding and flame retardancy, the book promotes a molecular understanding of the subject matter. It is expected to pave the way for future advancements in advanced polymer composites. Researchers and scholars will find this book invaluable as it provides a holistic overview of fundamental concepts and insights into ongoing research intricacies.
