Biography
Vikas Mittal is an assistant professor of chemical engineering at The Petroleum Institute in the United Arab Emirates. He is the editor of numerous books on the topic of polymeric materials, including Polymer Brushes: Substrates, Technologies, and Properties (CRC Press, 2012), Advances in Polyolefin Nanocomposites (CRC Press, 2010), and Advanced Polymer Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Surface Modifications (CRC Press, 2010). Dr. Mittal has also worked in industry for BASF SE in Germany and Sun Chemical Group Europe in London.
For more information about Dr. Mittal, see The Petroleum Institute website.
"This book is well organized and written for PhD students and professionals in polymer science and technology. Fundamental knowledge on polymer blends is presented with a well-organised introduction to the polymer blend systems and the method for the miscibility enhancement. The audience can gain necessary information on recent progress in the preparation, characterisation, and applications of polymer blends. The introduction on shape memory polymer blends, strain hardening in polymer blends, and directed assembly of polymer blends exhibits active research directions in the field of polymer blends."
—Professor Mo Song, Loughborough University, Leicestershire, UK"… captures several elements missing in other published volumes on polymer blends. Examples are extensive coverage on hydrogen bonding, shape memory polymers, and cyclic linear polymer blends."
