Functional Nanocomposite
Polymers have been identified as versatile candidates toward electrical applications due to their lightweight, low cost, corrosion resistance, easy processability, and improved design options. However, polymers' electrically insulative and non-magnetic nature makes them inapplicable for applications where a specific range of electrical conductivity is required. The employed solution is to incorporate conductive and/or magnetic materials (fillers) into the polymer matrix. Polymer composites containing conductive/magnetic fillers have shown both the intrinsic physical properties of the polymers and an adjustable electrical conductivity/magnetic permeability arising from the formation of a conductive/magnetic filler network within the polymer matrix. Changing the conductive filler content makes it possible to develop an insulative, semi-conductive or conductive composite. The polymer composites with conductivities in the insulative, semi-conductive and conductive regions are suitable as dielectric materials, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and antistatic materials, and electromagnetic interference shields, respectively. It is worth noting that, due to the multifunctionality of nanofillers, the developed nanocomposites could feature other enhanced properties such as thermal, mechanical, hydrophobic and barrier.
