Polymer-Ceramic Nanocomposites

Polymer nanocomposites represent a new alternative to conventionally filled polymers. Because of their nanometer sizes, filler dispersion nanocomposites exhibit markedly improved properties when compared to the pure polymers or their traditional composites. These include increased modulus and strength, outstanding barrier properties, improved solvent and heat resistance and decreased flammability. Polymer nanocomposites are classified into three categories depending upon the reinforcement type. These are discontinuous reinforcement nanocomposites, layered reinforcement nanocomposites and nanofiber or CNT-reinforced nanocomposites. The development of polymer-ceramic nanocomposites is closely linked with the optimization and modification of synthesis routes and the study of the mechanisms that control their structure and properties.
