Processing and Characterization of Polymer Nanocomposites
Author(s): Viswanath Bellie
Polymer nano composites have been investigated for the past 20 years by many researchers around the world. The mechanical and physical properties have been enhanced by the addition of nano fillers and the service life of the polymer parts has been improved. Applications abound in industrial, automobile, aerospace, space, bioengineering and energy sectors to name a few. More light is to be thrown on the processing, characterization and properties of these materials to understand the pros and cons of these new materials. There are merits and demerits in the processing and usage of these materials. The aim of this lecture is to highlight the various materials namely, nanoclay, graphene, carbon nanofibers and nanotubes, silica nanoparticles, WC nanopaticles, mullite nanoparticles to name a few, the processing aspects and characterization types of nanofillers - 0D, 1D and 2D ( spheroids, f..
