Biopolymers and Biomaterials

 Polymer Nanotechnology

Nanocomposites consist of polymer or copolymer having a Nano particles arranged in the polymer matrix. The transition from micro to Nano particles modification results in physical and chemical properties. This technology mainly used in adhesives, coatings. Nanoparticle fillers such as betonies, Nano-sized silica particles has led to the development of products which enhances the thermal stability, chemical or water resistance to wear transparency thermal conductivity and high tensile strength. The transitions comes from micro to Nano-particles these lead to change in its physical and as well as chemical properties. Two of the major factors in these are the increase in the ratio of the surface, area to volume, and the size of the particle. The particle size varies from 1-50nm.
