Wear stability of polymer nanocomposite coatings with trilayer architecture

A polymer trilayer (sandwiched) film with a thickness of 20–30 nm has been designed to serve as a wear resistant nanoscale coating for silicon surfaces. These surface structures are formed by a multiple grafting technique applied to self-assembled monolayers (SAM) and functionalized tri-block copolymer, followed by the photopolymerization of a topmost polymer layer. The unique design of this la...

Optical properties of Zinc Oxide/Polymer Nanocomposite

ZnO/ PEG Nanocomposite material is synthesized by laser ablation of pure Zn target in the mix solution of PEG and of water in different compositions. Synthesized Nanocomposite materials are characterized by using UV-visible absorption, Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopic techniques. TEM investigation illustrates synthesis of few 2-5 nm quantum dots wi...

Study of Aspect Ratio Effect on Mechanical Properties Polymer/NanoComposite

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) demonstrate unusually high stiffness, strength and resilience, and are therefore an ideal reinforcing material for nanocomposites. However, much work has to be done before the potentials of CNT-based composites can be fully realized.  Evaluating the effective material properties of such nanoscale materials is a very difficult tasks.  Simulations using molecular dynamics ...
