Volume One
This is the first volume of a four volume set to be published in the next six months. This handbook is intended to provide an overview of the theory and practice of polymer blends and composites. It is a collection of monographs on the subject of polymer blends and composites but much remains to be done and understood. The subject is huge and the number of pages is limited. The first two volumes are concerned with the state-of-the-art in composites development, characteristics of particulate fillers and fibre reinforcements and interface characteristics, main procedures of composite manufacture and their applications. The other two volumes are dedicated to polymer blends.
Practical and theoretical investigations are presented, which are aimed at generating an understanding of the fundamental nature of polymer mixtures and composites and describing progress in the thermodynamics of mixing (both in solution and solid state) of binary and multi-component systems.
This book will be useful to students, researchers, academics, and workers in the industry, who have an interest in polymer blends and composites.

Anand Kumar Kulshreshtha joined the Ahmedabad Textile Industry's Research Association (ATIRA) as a Senior Scientific Officer in 1970, where he worked on the morphology and properties of natural fibres (cellulose). In 1975 he became a United Nations Fellow at the then Polytechnic Institute of New York with Professors E.M.Pearce and G.C.Tesoro. In 1978-1979 he worked as a postdoc at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. From 1979-1980, he was an NRC Resident Research Associate at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Currently, he is Senior Manager (R&D) and Leader for Polymer and Information Groups at the Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd., Vadodara. He is on the editorial board of the journal, 'Popular Plastics & Packaging' and author of about 200 research papers, articles and book chapters.
