Abderrahim Boudenne & Laurent Ibos 
Handbook of Multiphase Polymer Systems 

Multiphase polymeric systems include a wide range of materials such as composites, blends, alloys, gels, and interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs). A one-stop reference on multiphase polymer systems, this book fully covers the preparation, properties, and applications of advanced multiphase systems from macro to nano scales. Edited by well-respected academics in the field of multiphase polymer systems, the book includes contributions from leading international experts. An essential resource for plastic and rubber technologists, filler specialists and researchers in fields studying thermal and electrical properties.

O autorze

Abderrahim Boudenne is an assistant professor at Paris XII
University (France). Professor Boudenne received his Ph D from Paris
XII University. Until 2006 he held positions in the CERTES
Laboratory of Paris XII University and previously he worked in the
LPP laboratory at the Tlemcen University (Algeria). His main
research interests have included manufacturing of polymers and
polymers composite materials and the investigation of the
thermophysical behavior of polymers and composite materials, and
new methods for the measurement of thermophysical properties and
characterization of defects in composites.

Laurent Ibos is assistant professor in CERTES, IUT de
Créteil Université Paris XII. He received his Ph D at Paul
Sabatier University, Toulouse (France). Professor Ibos’
present position in the Thermal Science Laboratory of CERTES
involves the investigation of the thermophysical behavior of
polymer composite materials, development of experimental methods
for the measurement of properties of composites and testing of
composites. He is also has a position at the Institute of
Technology, Paris XII University teaching materials science, vacuum
technology and instrumentation.

Yves Candau is a professor in CERTES and he is also head
of this group. The centre’s research work includes IR thermography,
materials and their proprieties, modeling, and aerosols.

Sabu Thomas is Professor of Polymer Science and
Engineering in the School of Chemical Sciences at Mahatma Gandhi
University (India). He received his Ph D from the Indian Institute
of Technology, Kharagpur (India). He has had many postdoctoral and
visiting professorships as well as industrial and academic/teaching
positions. The research group of Professor Thomas has received 22
national awards for work in polymer science/engineering. His major
fields of interest include blends, composites, interpenetrating
polymer systems, reuse of plastics and rubbers.
