Engineering of Interface in Nanocomposites Based on PU Polymers

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the interfaces in nanocomposites of polyurethane (PU). PU nanocomposites with various inorganic nanoparticles such as layered silicates, silica, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes, carbon nanotubes, graphene or graphene oxide nanosheets, silver, and other metal nanoparticles are summarized in individual sections. The interfacial chemistry of the control of particle exfoliation/intercalation and dispersion in the matrix and the creation of interface are discussed, the characterization methods of the interface and the effect of interfacial chemistry on PU morphology are elaborated in detail, and the material properties response with the interface is reported.
