What are the Benefits of Nanoreinforced Composites?
The addition of nanoparticles to composites offers several advantages: 1. Mechanical Strength: Nanoscale fillers can significantly improve the tensile strength, stiffness, and toughness of composites. 2. Thermal Stability: Nanocomposites can exhibit enhanced thermal stability and resistance to thermal degradation. 3. Electrical Conductivity: Some nanofillers can impart electrical conductivity to otherwise insulating polymer matrices. 4. Barrier Properties: Improved barrier properties against gases and liquids can be achieved, beneficial for packaging applications. 5. Weight Reduction: Enhanced properties allow for lighter materials without compromising performance.
