Overview

This book focuses on different aspects of multicomponent fibers and polymeric systems, including multicomponent fibers, multicomponent micro/nanoparticles, and multicomponent composite materials. It also includes specialty multicomponent polymeric systems for multicomponent blends and coatings, films and membranes, shape memory polymers, and elastomeric systems. Each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, fabrication/synthesis approaches, structure, properties, and potential applications. The current research trends and future perspectives are also included in each chapter.
