((Series)) The series provides complete and comprehensive information on all important aspects of polymer composite research and development, including, but not limited to synthesis, filler modification, modeling, characterization as well as application and commercialization issues. Each book focuses on a particular topic and gives a balanced in-depth overview of the respective subfield of polymer composite science and its relation to industrial applications. With the books the reader obtains dedicated resources with information relevant to his research, thereby helping to save time and money. ((Volume 2)) Thanks to its versatility, in-situ polymerization is routinely used in the chemical industry to obtain composites with tuneable properties. In the book the reader gets to know the proven strategies - and also the pitfalls - of successfully synthesizing the different types of composites with their different demands concerning the processing conditions and other influence factors. After an overview of the synthesis methodologies the most relevant polymer materials are discussed, including polyamides, polyolefines, polyacrylates, polyethylenes, polyurethanes, polyesters and polyepoxides.
