Nanocomposites
Current Research Projects
- Online Measurement of Dispersion: Dispersion of polymer nanocomposites is characterized using offline techniques such as AFM and TEM, which are both time consuming and labor intensive. This makes it difficult to adopt it commercially, for this purpose a new method of measurement needs to be investigated. The University of Massachusetts Lowell is attempting to characterize the degree of exfoliation using electrical, rhoelogical and thermal techniques for polymer based nanocomposites.
