TY - GEN T1 - Preparation and Application of Polymer Nanocomposites A2 - Cuberes, Teresa LA - eng PB - MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute YR - 2023 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/doab-20.500.12854-100019 AB - This reprint focuses on the preparation of polymer nanocomposites for various fields, such as structural, electronic, sensing, energy harvesting, and biomedical applications. A wide variety of matrices have been considered, such as polymer-modified asphalt, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, polymethyl methacrylate, polydimethylsiloxane elastomer, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl amide, poly(e-caloprolactone), and ureasyl polyether. The results corroborate that incorporating nanomaterials into polymeric matrices facilitates developing advanced materials with improved properties. Issues such as filler‒matrix interactions, molecular organization and rearrangement, size-dependent functionality, etc., are addressed in detail. Advanced nanosensing, nanofabrication, and nanocharacterization procedures are advantageously applied.
