Nanocomposites types

The resistance of the nanocomposite film was also greater than that of the pure tin oxide film, most likely because the presence of the CNTs had led to the introduction of pores. Nonetheless, this illustrates the potential of these nanocomposite-type materials - where both phases are nanocrystalline - in the field of gas sensors.

Tensile tests were conducted using the ASTM D638 Type V technique at room temperature on dog bone-shaped specimens of 25 mm uge-length and 3 mm width. The specimens were 1 mm thick and were die-cut into the ASTM dog bone shape. An ATS Universal 900 tensile tester at a cross-head speed of 25 mm/min was used to test six replicates per nanocomposite type. 

The electrostatic discharge (ESD) characteristic of the nanocomposites was also measured. All types of composites at 20 wt% were ESD dissipative and complied with the Mil-B-81705C requirements since they all were in the percolated regime. The decay time for each nanocomposite type is shown in Table 8.1 for 1% of cutoff. Only, twin-screw extraded P-55 composites displayed a shghtly higher, but still dissipative, decay time of 1.0 s. This is consistent with its low electrical conductivity of only 0.8 S/m, as it is known that the electrostatic decay time increases as the conductivity of the material decreases (Pratt, 2000). 

One specific nanocomposite type receiving considerable attention involves conjugated polymers and carbon nanotubes. There is a litany and growing application of these involving electronically conducting polymers, photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes, and field effect transitions. 

Depending on the namre of filler, type of dispersion, and method of preparation, the nanocomposites can be divided into subclasses. 

With the variation in nanofillers, mainly the following types of nanocomposites can be obtained ... 

Different clays having different stmcmres and compositions give different types of nanocomposites. In this chapter, clay-based nanocomposites will be discussed in detail. 

Nanocomposites based on clay can be of three different types depending on the extent of intercalation and dispersion, which are different from conventional composites. 

From tins observation, it is su ested that MMA could cojwlymerize with double bond on Mg(OH)2 surface pretreated with y-MPS and grow like nodule and evraitually produce core-diell type nanocomposites. 

Very recent relevant observations reveal that the TCS approach albeit certainly significant as conceptual and operational tool in the issue of metal nanoclusters size control, requires a substantial further perfection. Resin sulfonated Bayer K1221 is a co styrene-divinylbenzene commercially available gel-type resin, in beaded form. Its cross-linking degree is ca. 4% mol and therefore K1221 is expectedly quite similar to DOMA-VP and MTEMA-DMAA 4-4 for example. In fact ISEC analysis reveals a nanoporosity featured by 4.0 and 2.0 nm nanopores only. The expectation is that a Pd°/K1221 nanocomposite obtained with a classic procedure [5,9,10] will exhibit diameters strictly ranging from 2 to 4 nm. 

The case of M /0 (M = Pd, Au) nanocomposites is illustrated. is a gel-type cross-linked functional polymer coded as MTEMA-DMAA 4-8 [14] (Figure 8). 

Pure Ti02 was recently reported to be active in the disinfection of water contaminated by spores of the type Fusarium solani [142], Bacillus anthracis [143], or Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts [144], or when supported as nanocomposites on zeolite H(i for E. coli deactivation [145], and it found applications in water treatment as a replacement for chlorine. Ag-Ti02 immobilized systems were used for inactivation of bacteria, coupling the visible light response of the system and the strong bactericidal effect of Ag [146]. Silver was deposited on hydroxyapatite to form nanocomposites with a high capacity for bacterial adsorption and inactivation [147], or used for airborne bacterial remediation in indoor air [148],...
