Applications of Nanocomposites

Due to the potential high-temperature application of nanocomposites, as well as the fact that metal-reinforced ceramic nanocomposites combine metal and non-metal phases in equilibrium, it is important to understand the oxidation resistance of such materials. Using the Ni-alumina system as an example, and following Sekino et al.,12 the partial pressure of oxygen required to prevent the formation of nickel spinel (NiAl204) from a two-phase mixture of Ni and A1203 can be described as 58,59...

Besides metal ions and hydrogen ions, other cationic substances (e.g., cationic organic molecules or cationic tensides) can also be exchanged in the external and internal surfaces. Cationic tensides can make the surface hydrophobic (Lagaly and Dekany 2005). Furthermore, the distance between the layers is widened, enabling polymer chains to move in. This is an important condition in the preparation of nanocomposites containing layer silicates. Recently, the production and application of nanocomposites has become widespread, and many papers have been presented in this field (e.g., Paiva et al. 2008 Pavlidoua and Papaspyrides 2008). [Pg.42]

Fillers are usually considered to be opaque materials but they can play an important role in high technology optical devices. This is possible due to the use of very small particles of controlled size obtained through application of nanocomposite technology. [Pg.807]

The results obtained will be useful in practical application of nanocomposites and magnetic fluids in oncotherapy. Besides the magnetic fluids in Table 10.16, water-based magnetic fluids (physiologic solution) and nanocomposites containing B and Gd were synthesized and investigated. [Pg.329]

In food contact materials, polymer nanocomposites-based packaging materials are developed by the inclusion of nanoscale fillers resulting in clear improvement of food quality and extension of the shelf-life through minimizing microbial growth. They can serve not only as barriers to moisture, water vapour, gases and solutes, but also as carriers of some active substances. The enhancement of the polymer barrier properties is the most obvious application of nanocomposites in the food industry. [Pg.339]

Attention was focused on the properties and practical application of nanocomposites when considering synthetic problems. Undoubtedly, these synthetic problems merit detailed consideration. In this review, only the major problems are briefly analyzed. [Pg.185]

General Motors commercialized the first exterior trim application of nanocomposite in their 2002 mid-sized vans. The part was stiffer, lighter, and less brittle in cold temperatures and more recyclable. Molded of a thermoplastic olefin clay nanocomposite, it offers weight savings and improved surface quality. About 540,000 Ibs/yr... [Pg.143]

As described previously, the inherent difficult processing operations and relatively poor mechanical and barrier properties have limited the industrial use of biodegradable polymers. One of the possible routes for overcoming biopolymers inherent shortcomings is through the application of nanocomposites technology. [Pg.113]
