A Study of Self-Healing Polymer Nanocomposites with Filler Effect
Abstract: Considering their versatility, polymers sometimes lack the barrier properties, mechanical strength, and thermal stability required for high-performance applications. The creation of polymer nanocomposites is an advanced solution to this restriction. To make these materials, nanoscale fillers like carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, and metal oxide nanoparticles are added to a polymer matrix in small amounts (typically 1–5% weight percentage). The nanoparticles’ incredibly high surface area-to-volume ratio, as well as their …
