6.12 Hierarchical Nanocomposites/Multi-Scale Composites

摘要: Hierarchical nanocomposites and multi-scale composites represent two classes of closely related material types which utilize a range nano microscale elements combined in an organized way to create macroscale with unique and, often, multifunctional properties. The critical requirement for any successfully incorporate nanoscale constituents is the ability disperse additive large degree control. realize true benefits materials within larger scale matrices will usually be maximized when individual nanoparticles exist as separate entities massive surface area volume ratios are exploited. Consequently, research efforts dedicated chemical modification nanomaterial surfaces order control system thermodynamic quantities ways that can tailor levels dispersion.
