Abstract: | This paper reviews recent studies done in academia or industrial laboratories on polymer nanocomposites based on various type of polyolefins like homopolymers, copolymers and polyblends reinforced with various mineral (montmorillonite, bentonite, closite, laponite, layered double hydroxide, etc.) carbon based (graphite, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, exfoliated graphite, graphene, carbon black, etc.) nanofillers. The review covers their preparation, their mechanical, thermal, flammability, gas barrier capability, electrical, dielectrical, antibacterial characteristics and their potential applications like low weight structural materials, part of optical devices, thermal interface materials, electric and electromagnetic components, absorption, antibacterial materials, etc. |
