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.
