Aging and Durability of FRP Composites and Nanocomposites focuses on the latest developments in durability and long-term aging studies of composite materials, especially those used in civil and structural engineering applications. The book will be a valuable reference resource for materials scientists and engineers who want to learn more about the long-term service life and durability behavior of composites under different environmental conditions. The usage of composites is a broad and growing area of scientific research, especially in developed and developing countries. These materials are used in a broad range of applications in both structural and civil engineering sectors. In many of these applications, FRPs are exposed to one or more environmental influences, so they need to be designed to meet durability requirements to withstand even the harshest of environments.

Discusses composites and polymer nanocompositesReviews different types of aging processes and degradation mechanisms in compositesCovers different types of accelerated aging testsPresents theory, modeling, and simulation studies of aged composites and nanocompositesLooks at recent trends and future possibilities

This book focuses on polymer/silver nanocomposites as the main component in bioengineering systems. It describes in detail the synthesis and characterization (morphological, thermal, mechanical & dynamic mechanical properties), as well as the different applications of these composites.
