Polymer Nanotechnology

Polymer nanocomposites include a polymer or copolymer having Nano particles dispersed with in the polymer matrix. Nanotechnology has created important contributions to the formulation of adhesives, sealants, coatings, potting and encapsulation compounds. The transition from micro to nanoparticles results in modification of its physical and chemical properties. The two key factors during this are the increase in the ratio of the surface area to volume and size of the particles. The increase in surface area to volume ratio that will increase because the particles get smaller ends up in associate increasing dominance of the behaviour of atoms on the area of particle overt that of these interior of the particle. This affects the properties of the particles when they are reacting with other particles.
