Principles of polymer engineering
TLDR
In this article, the elastic properties of polymeric solids and their properties of rubber are discussed. But they focus on the structure of the molecule rather than the properties of the solids.Abstract:

Polymer Nanocomposites: From Synthesis to Applications
S. Anandhan,S. Bandyopadhyay +1 more
TL;DR: Nanocomposites are composites in which at least one of the phases shows dimensions in the nanometer range (Roy et al., 1986), and they are high performance materials that exhibit unusual property combinations and unique design possibilities as discussed by the authors.
