Interfacial Studies of Cellulose Whisker Polymer Nanocomposites
The molecular deformation of cotton cellulose whisker/epoxy resin (CW/EP) and tunicate whisker/poly(vinyl) acetate (TW/PVAc) composites were investigated using Raman spectroscopy. A shift in the 1095 cm Raman peak position is recorded for samples deformed in both tension and compression, which corresponds to the molecular deformation of the cellulose chains within the whiskers. Cyclic molecular...
متن کاملBound Layers "Cloak" Nanoparticles in Strongly Interacting Polymer Nanocomposites.
Polymer-nanoparticle (NP) interfacial interactions are expected to strongly influence the properties of nanocomposites, but surprisingly, experiments often report small or no changes in the glass transition temperature, Tg. To understand this paradoxical situation, we simulate nanocomposites over a broad range of polymer-NP interaction strengths, ε. When ε is stronger than the polymer-polymer i...
متن کاملLength scale of dynamic heterogeneity in polymer nanocomposites
Using Xray photon correlation spectroscopy measurements on gold nanoparticles embedded in polymethylmethacrylate we provide evidence for existence of an intrinsic length scale for dynamic heterogeneity in polymer nanocomposites similar to that in other soft materials.We also show how the dynamics varies in a complex way with various parameters. Polymer nanocomposites (PNC) are a novel class of ...
متن کاملInfluence of Polymer-Clay Interfacial Interactions on the Ignition Time of Polymer/Clay Nanocomposites
Metal ions present on smectite clay (montmorillonite) platelets have preferential reactivity towards peroxy/alkoxy groups during polyamide 6 (PA6) thermal decomposition. This changes the decomposition pathway and negatively affects the ignition response of PA6. To restrict these interfacial interactions, high-temperature-resistant polymers such as polyetherimide (PEI) and polyimide (PI) were us...
متن کاملLaser-based processing of polymer nanocomposites for chemical sensing applications
Pulsed laser deposition ~PLD! has been used to fabricate polymer/carbon nanocomposite thin films for use in chemical sensors ~chemiresistors!. Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer ~EVA! films ~undoped and 20% carbon by weight! were deposited using an ArF excimer laser ~193 nm! at fluences between 150 and 300 mJ/cm. The structure and morphology of the deposited films were characterized using Fourier...
