How are Multifunctional Nanocomposites Fabricated?
The fabrication of multifunctional nanocomposites involves several techniques, including:
Solution Blending: Mixing nanoparticles with a polymer solution followed by solvent evaporation to create a uniform composite. Melt Compounding: Dispersing nanofillers into a polymer melt using extrusion or molding processes. In-Situ Polymerization: Synthesizing the polymer matrix in the presence of nanoparticles to ensure uniform dispersion. Layer-by-Layer Assembly: Alternately depositing layers of different materials to build up a nanocomposite with tailored properties.
