Polymer Nanocomposites

Polymer nanocomposites are materials made by adding nanoscale fillers to a polymer matrix to dramatically improve its properties.

Even small amounts of nanofiller can greatly enhance strength, barrier and thermal properties.

Structure and Properties

Nanofillers such as clay, carbon nanotubes or graphene are dispersed in a polymer matrix. Their enormous surface area and interaction with the polymer improve mechanical strength, thermal stability, flame resistance and gas barrier properties.

Because only a small loading of nanofiller is needed, the material stays lightweight while gaining performance.
