Thermal Properties and Microstructures of Polymer Nanostructured Materials

Nanoscience is primarily deals with synthesis, exploration, exploitation and of nanostructured materials. Those materials are characterized by at least one dimension in the nanometer range. Particles of “nano” size have been shown to exhibit enhanced or novel properties including reactivity, thermal properties, greater sensing capability, electrical conductivity and increased mechanical strength. These nanotechnique offers clean, simple, fast, economic, and efficient for the synthesis of a variety of organic molecules, have provided the momentum for many chemists to switch from traditional method. In this article an attempt was made to focus on what is nanomaterials, how is it generated and what all the importance it may have are and the important applications.

Nanophase Materials

Electron microscopy is a fundamental tool in materials characterization. In the case of nanostructured materials we are looking for features with a size in the nanometer range. Therefore often the conventional TEM techniques are not enough for characterization of nanophases. High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM), is a key technique in order to characterize those materials with a resolution of ~ 1.7A. High resolution studies of metallic nanostructured materials has been also reported in the literature. It is concluded that boundaries in nanophase materials are similar in structure to the regular grain boundaries. That work therefore did not confirm the early hipothesis on the field that grain boundaries in nanostructured materials have a special behavior. We will show in this paper that by a combination of HREM image processing, and image calculations, it is possible to prove that small particles and coalesced grains have a significant surface roughness, as well as large internal strain.
