Polymeric Nanocomposite Materials

Nanoparticle-Integrated Hydrogels as Multifunctional Composite Materials for Biomedical Applications

This review focuses on the most recent developments in the field of nanocomposite hydrogels intended for biomedical applications. Nanocomposite hydrogels are hydrated polymeric networks with a physically or covalently crosslinked three-dimensional (3D) structure swollen with water, in the presence of nanoparticles or nanostructures. A wide array of nanomaterials (polymeric, carbon-based, metall...

A Review of Nano-fillers Effects on Industrial Polymers and Their Characteristics

This paper reviews recent advances in the field of developing industrial polymers by nanocomposites materials. The discussed materials have been attracted in both academic and industrial attention because they exhibit dramatic improvement in properties at selected low filler contents. Herein, the types and forms of industrial polymer, structure, and properties of polymer–nanocomposites are disc...

Polymer/montmorillonite nanocomposites with improved thermal properties. Part II: Thermal stability of montmorillonite nanocomposites based on different polymeric matrixes

In previous part of this work factors influencing the thermal stability of polymer nanocomposite materials were indicated, such as chemical constitution of organic modifier, filler content, nanocomposites’ structure and the processing-dependent degree of homogenization of nanofiller, were presented. In this part the basic changes in thermal behaviour of different polymeric matrixes (e.g. polyol...
