Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced and Emerging Polybenzoxazine Science and Technology introduces advanced topics of benzoxazine resins and polybenzoxazines as presented through the collaboration of leading experts in the benzoxazine community, representing the authoritative introduction to the subjects. Broad topics covered include the recent development and improved understanding of the subjects, including low temperature cure, aerogels and carbon aerogels, smart chemistry in fire retarding materials and coatings, metal containing benzoxazines, rational design of advanced properties, and materials from natural renew. In the past twenty years, the number of papers on polybenzoxazine has continuously increased at an exponential rate. During the past three years, the number of papers published is more than the previous 17 years combined. The material is now part of only a few successfully commercialized polymers in the past 35 years. Therefore, interest in this material in both academia and industry is very strong. - Includes the latest advancements in benzoxazine chemistry - Describes advanced materials, such as aerogels, carbons, smart coatings, nanofibers, and shape memory materials - Includes additional characterization data and techniques, such as FT-IR, Raman, NMR, DSC, and TGA analyses
