This book was released on 2011 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polypropylene is a very important plastic among polyolefins with high performance properties at a moderate cost. Reinforcement of polypropylene (PP) with fibres gives a composite which compared favorably with most engineering polymers. However, research on polymer composites using micro-fillers has reached the limit of optimization because most often the achieved property usually involved a lot of tradeoffs due to high percentage of fillers required. This research was therefore aimed at developing a PP ternary nanocomposite using primarily a modified clay and multiwall carbon nanotube as secondary filler. Production of ternary nanocomposite of polypropylene (PP-Clay/MWCNT) has been achieved by melt intercalation of PP, Clay and MWCNT at predetermined percentages of modified clay, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene and varying percentage of MWCNT. Operating parameters such as melting temperature, mixing speed and MWCNT content were optimized and statistically analyzed in order to determine the optimum conditions that will favor the production of the composite by using central composite design of surface response. The final composites were characterized for their tensile properties, thermal and chemical resistance properties. Morphological characterization was also conducted to evaluate the properties of the final composite relative to filler dispersion. The results showed that the main parameters which influence the properties of the composite are the melting temperature and percentage MWCNT once the mixing speed is fixed at a moderate value above 100rpm. The statistical analysis using ANOVA indicated that the third order polynomial model fitted for both the tensile strength and Young's modulus are highly significant with p-values of 0.008 and 0.002 respectively while that of elongation at break (E) did not fit into any model considered. The p-value for E using the third order model gave 0.2598 and hence considered insignificant. The regression analysis for tensile strength and Young's modulus gave R2 (actual and adjusted) almost unity. However, there is a wide gap between actual and adjusted R2 for E and hence the reason for high p-value and discrepancy. Finally, the optimum conditions for the production of PP ternary nanocomposite was given to be MWCNT percentage of 0.17wt%, melting temperature of 165oC and 120rpm mixing speed. These conditions yielded a percentage enhancement of 26.20 and 42% in tensile strength and Young's modulus respectively when compared with PP/Clay intermediate binary composite and 57 & 63% respectively when compared with virgin PP used in the study. The result has been justified in the morphological characterization conducted by using XRD, TEM and SEM. The three selected samples with 0.17, 0.45 and 0.61wt% MWCNT performed excellently well with best performance observed in the sample with 0.61wt% MWCNT in terms of chemical and thermal resistances. The samples are therefore recommended for use in the fabrications of biochemical, chemical, and environmental process equipment due to their high stability in acid, alkaline water and bacterial solutions combined with high thermal stability.

This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their discovery in 1977, the evolution of conducting polymers has revolutionized modern science and technology. These polymers enjoy a special status in the area of materials science yet they are not as popular among young readers or common people when compared to other materials like metals, paper, plastics, rubber, textiles, ceramics and composites like concrete. Most importantly, much of the available literature in the form of papers, specific review articles and books is targeted either at advanced readers (scientists / technologists / engineers / senior academicians) or for those who are already familiar with the topic (doctoral / postdoctoral scholars). For a beginner or even school / college students, such compilations are bit difficult to access / digest. In fact, they need proper introduction to the topic of conducting polymers including their discovery, preparation, properties, applications and societal impact, using suitable examples and already known principles/knowledge/phenomenon. Further, active participation of readers in terms of "question & answers", "fill-in-the-blanks", "numerical" along with suitable answer key is necessary to maintain the interest and to initiate the "thought process". The readers also need to know about the drawbacks and any hazards of such materials. Therefore, I believe that a comprehensive source on the science / technology of conducting polymers which maintains a link between grass root fundamentals and state-of-the-art R&D is still missing from the open literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New hybrid materials from the grafting of polystyrene on the surface of nitrogen doped carbon nanotube were synthesized. These chemically modified nanotubes were further used in the fabrication of polymer based nanocomposites. In these works, we studied the impact of the polymer grafted nanotubes on the electrical and mechanical properties of a polystyrene (PS) and a poly (butadiene-co-styrene) (PSBS) matrices. The grafted nanotubes have a better dispersion in a PS matrix as compared to the as received ones. Nevertheless, this kind of functionalization does not lower the percolation threshold since the grafted polymer layer electrically isolates the nanotubes each others. On the other hand, the mechanical reinforcement (PS matrix) increases when the nanotubes are polymer grafted. Furthermore, a stronger mechanical reinforcement is observed for large strain deformation. Concerning the nano-structured PSBS matrix, we observed a stronger mechanical reinforcement as compared to the PS matrix. The PS grafted nanotubes permit to connect the PS nano-domains of the matrix and consequently forms a percolating rigid network with a very low threshold (PC

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer nanocomposites are a class of material with a great deal of promise for potential applications in various industries ranging from construction to aerospace. The main difference between polymeric nanocomposites and conventional composites is the filler that is being used for reinforcement. In the nanocomposites the reinforcement is on the order of nanometer that leads to a very different final macroscopic property. Due to this unique feature polymeric nanocomposites have been studied exclusively in the last decade using various nanofillers such as minerals, sheets or fibers. This books focuses on the preparation and property analysis of polymer nanocomposites with CNTs (fibers) as nano fillers. The book has been divided into three sections. The first section deals with fabrication and property analysis of new carbon nanotube structures. The second section deals with preparation and characterization of polymer composites with CNTs followed by the various applications of polymers with CNTs in the third section.
