Molecularly confined polymer nanocomposites
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Molecular polymer confinement can be achieved in hybrid nanocomposites where individual polymer molecules are confined by a nanoporous matrix to dimensions comparable to or less than the molecular size of the polymer. Such molecular confinement can induce changes in a wide variety of properties of the confined polymer and the nanocomposite. In this dissertation, I focus on the mobility of the molecularly confined polymers as well as the thermal and fracture properties of the nanocomposite. In my first project, I show that the polymer mobility and the nanocomposite thermal and mechanical properties can be significantly influenced by the interaction of the molecularly confined polymer with the pore surface, which can be manipulated by surface chemical functionalization of the pores. Polyimide nanocomposites hold great promise for applications demanding fracture resistance at high temperature. In my second project, I discuss the strategy of improving fracture resistance of polyimide nanocomposites by increasing polymer fill level and polymer-surface interaction.
