Thermal, thermomechanical, and rheology properties of polymer nanocomposite

Polymer nanocomposites are materials made up of a polymer matrix and nanocomposites. The polymer has gained a wide range of acceptance owing to its excellent mechanical properties of the composition-weight ratio. Due to its excellent structural stability, its applications span domestic and industrial usage, etc. However, with the current industrial revolution, which required intricate structures, high dimensional precision, and improved mechanical properties, polymer nanocomposite has been exposed to continuous extreme conditions, which will require a further increase in its thermal, thermomechanical, and rheology properties. Besides, the engineering revolution advocates utilizing lightweight materials to reduce the greenhouse effect and increase application efficiency. To attain this, several researchers have introduced a variety of reinforced nanoparticles to improve this material. Still, most reinforcing additives exhibited thermal decomposition at high temperatures and possessed relatively high density. Hence, this chapter focuses on the thermal, thermomechanical, and rheological properties survey and analysis of polymer nanocomposites.
