Assessment of Polymer Nanocomposite for Packaging Uses and Concerns about Environmental and Health Effects
Abstract: A nanocomposite material is composed of several phases with at least one, two, or three dimensions in the nanoscale range. When material dimensions are lowered to the nanoscale, phase interfaces are created, and they are essential for enhancing the material's characteristics. The surface area to volume ratio of the reinforced material used to create nanocomposites has a direct bearing on how structure and property relate to one another. Due to …
