Definition
The dispersion of nanoparticles and their compatibilizing action in binary elastomer blends have been discussed.
Introduction
The nano era has made an enormous increase in research and development activities in the area of nanostructured materials. The use of nanofillers in different fields has made this an inevitable material when scientists look forward to develop exceptional products for the various applications. The use of nanofillers in polymer system is one of the widely influenced fields in nanoscience and technology because of the various applications in industrial areas. In polymer systems, nanofillers have found their place not only as reinforcing agent but also in enhancing other properties like barrier properties, thermal properties, conductivity, etc. For the past few years, nanofillers have also found their position as compatibilizers in polymer blend systems. The use of nanofillers as a...
