Structure Property Correlation of Bio-nanocomposites
Dimensional similarities between physical characteristics of polymers (such as radius of gyration and lamellar thickness) and nano-sized reinforcing particles lead to the necessity to go beyond filled systems [1] and explore in detail polymer-particle interactions responsible for the improved properties of polymer nanocomposites. Dispersion is a key issue in processing polymer nanocomposites, and has a strong impact on mechanical properties. As opposed to phase separation (more likely to occur w

Raman Spectroscopy and nano-TA analysis of a Polymer Blend
Characterizing polymer blends can sometimes present a significant challenge for a single technique and the best way is a combination of techniques. In this application note, we discuss an PA6-PET blend which was initially characterized via Raman Spectroscopy at a 500nm spatial resolution. Subsequent thermal characterization at a sub-100nm spatial resolution via the nano-TA revealed a lot of interesting details and more complex sub-structures that were not available from the Raman study and helpe
