TWA 33
Polymer Nanocomposites
The objective of this TWA is to address the measurement issues and challenges in the field of polymer nanocomposites (PNC) and their fillers. Through international interlaboratory comparison projects, it is hoped that accurate and reliable measurement methods for these materials will be established to support future international standardization.
Projects
-
Shape, size and size distribution of nano filler
particles
- Chemical composition of nanofillers
- Cross validation of Young’s modulus measurements of
graphene PNCs between DMA and stress strain tests
Publications
- Clays for Polymeric Nanocomposites
