Dr. Ayesha Kausar is a professional scientist at Pakistan's National Centre for Physics in Islamabad. She previously worked at the National University of Sciences and Technology in Islamabad, Pakistan, as well as Quaid-i-Azam University. She obtained her PhD from Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan/KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology), at the Graduate School of EEWS, Daejeon, Republic of Korea.

Her current research interests include the design, fabrication, characterization, and exploration of the structure-property relationships and potential future prospects for nanocomposites, polymeric nanocomposites, polymeric composites, polymeric nanoparticles, polymer dots, nanocarbon materials (graphene and its derivatives, fullerene, carbon nanotube, nanodiamond, carbon nano-onion, carbon nanocoil, carbon nanobelt, carbon nanodisk, carbon dot, and other nanocarbons), hybrid materials, eco-friendly materials, nanocomposite nanofibers, and nano-foam architectures.

Klappentext

Polymer/Nanodiamond Nanocomposites: Fundamentals, Properties and Applications provides an up-to-date review of these materials. The structure, design, processing, and properties, as well as technological advancements, are all thoroughly discussed. Several practical and potential application areas are also identified such as tribological aerospace/automobile materials (thermally conducting, lubricant, and radiation shielding), coatings/anti-corrosion nanomaterials, shape memory nanocomposites, energy devices (Li ion batteries and solar cells), and biomedical nanomaterials (drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensor, imaging). Current difficulties and potential opportunities are also discussed in detail. Polymer/Nanodiamond Nanocomposites: Fundamentals, Properties and Applications covers all aspects of these new novel materials' design, structure, manufacture, and applications. The book offers an up-to-date comprehensive knowledge resource for materials scientists, researchers, and engineers.
