"Overall, this book is well written and contains relevant information regarding the field of nanostructured immiscible polymer blends. Although it does not contain any problem sets, with up-to-date information and adequate bibliographical references, the book will be a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate student researchers studying the field of polymers, as well as scientists and engineers from industry." --MRS Bulletin

Nanostructured Immiscible Polymer Blends: Migration and Interface covers a wide range of nanoparticle types, emphasizing the mechanisms and parameters involved in the migration of nanofillers inside immiscible polymer blends. This book explores the influence of nanoparticle migration on the localization, and hence, morphology development, electrical conductivity, and met-rheological properties of blended composite materials. As the influence of solid particles, ranging in size from several hundred nanometers to a few microns in immiscible polymer blends has been extensively studied for use as compatibilizers, morphology stabilizers, and reinforcement agents, this book is a timely resource.
