Abstract

Polymers are increasingly replacing conventional materials at a fast pace. New and innovative products are being developed daily. Any useful application of these products requires knowledge of material properties and a thorough understanding of various mechanisms involved in failure of these materials. All these require material procurement and human resources. Simulation procedures can make this task much easier and involve less human involvement and material wastage. Polymers can be tested much before their actual physical development. Various simulation techniques have been developed trying to investigate the polymer at nano- to microlevel. All these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. This chapter is a review of various methods being used today to understand polymer composites.
