Emerging Materials and Nanotechnology

Polymer Technology

Polymer nanotechnology is one of the most popular area of current research as it involves the study and application of nanoscience to polymer-nanoparticle matrices, where nanoparticles are those with at least in measurement of less than 100 nm. Polymer nanotechnology focuses on polymer based biomaterials, self- assembled polymeric films, nanofabrication of polymers, polymer blends and nanocomposites. Polymer matrix based nanocomposites consist of polymer or copolymer having nanoparticles dispersed in the matrix. Silicon Nano spheres is the widely recognized Nano polymer that shows distinct characteristics and harder than silicon. Prior to the age of nanotechnology phase, polymer blends, block copolymer domain often achieves Nano scale dimensions. Nano-sized silica particles, zeolites and nanoparticle fillers has controlled the growth of products with improved properties such as thermal stability & conductivity, chemical resistance and tensile strength.
