The polymer nanocomposite used in this work comprises elastomer poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) as a polymer matrix and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a conductive nanofiller. To achieve uniform distribution of carbon nanotubes within the polymer, an optimized dispersion process was developed, featuring a strong organic solvent-chloroform, which dissolved PDMS base polymer easily and a...

We report the linear increase in the glass transition temperature, Tg, with nanofiller weight content. ZnO quantum dots dispersed by melt-blending in a poly(methyl methacrylate) host were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis showing that the Tg of the system is described by a power law of the interparticle distance, hp, where the percolation exponen...

This research aims to increase the utility of globally and abundantly available waste natural fibres Gallus-Gallus coir from mattress car seat manufacturing factories. The composite samples were prepared with a rally round polyester resin grade GP500 bio-epoxy by synthesizing specially treated selectively used for reinforcement characterizing them through static dynamic mechanical analyses iden...

Self-healing polymers and nanocomposites form an important class of responsive materials. These materials have the capability to reversibly heal their damage. For aerospace applications, thermosets thermoplastic been reinforced with nanocarbon nanoparticles for self-healing structural This review comprehends use in sector. The behavior depends on factors such as microphase separation, matrix–na...
