Strength And Stiffness

The advancement of nanotechnology has opened a new opportunity to develop nanocomposites using nanocellulose (NC) and nanoclay (NCl). Researchers have regarded these nanocomposites as promising substitutes for conventional polymers because of their characteristic and useful features, which include exceptional strength and stiffness, low weight, and low environmental impact. These features of NC and NCl explain their multifarious applications across many sectors. Here we review NC and NCl as well as various reinforced polymer composites that are made up of either of the two nanomaterials. The structural and physicochemical properties of NC and NCl are highlighted, along with the mechanical behavior and thermal properties of NC. Current nanomaterial hybrid biopolymers for the production of novel high-performance polymer nanocomposites are also discussed with respect to their mechanical properties.

New Generation

Taking into consideration the latest advances in both ceramic and polymer fields, a new generation of high-performance polymer composites based on the state-of-the-art MXene (Ti3C2(OH)2) ceramics and one of the leading high-performance thermosets, namely the phthalonitrile resins, is presented. The synergistic combination between the two phases led to nanocomposites exhibiting an outstanding thermal stability with starting decomposition temperatures not less than 484°C for 3 wt% of nanoloading. The tensile properties were as high as those obtained with fiber-reinforced polymer composites. For instance, the tensile strength reached its highest value of 276 MPa for the maximum loading of 3 wt%. The morphological studies carried out by scanning and transmission electron microscopies corroborated the improvements of the thermal and mechanical properties. Undoubtfully, such materials expected to be used in extreme conditions can be seen as the next generation of ceramics-reinforced polymer composites.
