To get deep insights into the modifying effects of various nanofillers on mechanical and physical properties of polymer nanocomposites, the three basic aspects of processing, characterization and properties are critically reviewed in this paper. A review of the recent work on polymer matrixnanocomposites is presented. In general, nanomaterials provide reinforcing efficiency because of their high aspect ratios [6]. Polymer nanocomposites offer significant potential in the development of advanced materials for numerous applications. In these PDMS nanocomposites, the polymer-filler interactions lead to immobilization of chain segments resulting in a rubber shell of a few nanometers thick in which chain mobility is reduced with regard to that of the polymer matrix [28,32,33,34]. Tubular structured bacterial cellulose-based nitrite sensor: preparation and environmental application. Supramolecular nanocomposite polymer system capable of self-healing was designed and synthesized by Vaiyapuri et al. Polymer nanocomposites have been investigated for about three decades. This review is not intended to be comprehensive, but provides an overview of the processing techniques and trends in the mechanical behavior and morphology of nanocomposites. 1. A composite/Nanocomposite material is co nstituted by a matrix and a reinforcement consisting of fibers. Introduction Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are multiphase materials, which consist of a polymer or copolymer having nanoparticles or nano llers (having … Daniel Q. Tan, The search for enhanced dielectric strength of polymer‐based dielectrics: A focused review on polymer nanocomposites, Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 10.1002/app.49379, 137, … The present review is an overview of polyolefin/graphene based composites, especially of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), with special emphasis on their methods of preparation, properties and potential applications. Blends of PA with polyolefin are particularly attractive because it is theoretically possible to couple the excellent mechanical properties of the PA and the good processability and toughness of the polyolefin. Intensive reviews have also been prepared relating to polymer/nanofiller interaction, in an attempt to understand the toughening mechanism in polymer composites 15, 16.
