Dielectric Properties of Graphite Nanocomposites

Magneto-dielectric properties of polymer– Fe3O4 nanocomposites

The aim of this research is to elucidate the size effect of magnetic nanoparticles on the resultant magneto-dielectric properties of polymer nanocomposites at radio frequencies. The block copolymer of [styrene-b-ethylene/butylene-b-styrene] (SEBS) was utilized as a matrix for the templating of magnetic nanoparticles. Surfactant-modified iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles of various sizes were suc...

Dielectric Properties of PE/Clay Nanocomposites

Polyethylene/nanoclay specimens containing from 0 to 5% nanoclays were prepared from a commercially available premixed PE/nanoclay masterbatch containing 50%wt of nanoclay. The masterbatch was diluted to the desired concentration by adding PE along with various amounts of compatibilizer in order to achieve the best possible dispersion of the nanoclay platelets. The dielectric response of the co...

Cellulose Based Rubber Nanocomposites

This chapter gives an introduction on the general aspects of cellulose, natural rubber and their bionanocomposites. A brief literature review on what has been done so far on the cellulose, natural rubber nanocomposites research area is also included in this chapter. This chapter also describes the structure, properties and characterization of cellulose as a biobased nanomaterial in natural rubber.
