Microscopy of Polymer Composites

, 2018
This work aims to optimize the methods of light and electron microscopy for documentation of polymer composite samples. The main task was to adapt the well-known techniques of metallography (i.e. sample preparation and microscopic examination) to multi-component polymer materials. There were several problems to deal with (e.g.

Composites of Nanoporous Gold and Polymer [PDF]

Advanced Materials, 2013
Nanoporous gold made by alloy corrosion can be impregnated with epoxy resin to produce a novel, polymer-based nanocomposite material that is reinforced by an interconnected network of high-strength metal nanostructures. The composite has a near-metallic electric conductivity, is ductile in tension and compression and its strength considerably exceeds ...

A review on self‐healing polymers and polymer composites for structural applications

, 2022
Polymer composites when employed for structural applications undergo dynamic stresses and strains that initiate fatigue-induced microcracks, which by their coalescence cause the failure of the materials, thus limiting their service life. To overcome this

The degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites exposed to liquid media - a review

, 2015
The advancement of polymer nano-composites has been motivated by the need for materials with a specific combination of mechanical properties beyond those achieved from only one material. Integration of reinforcement into polymers at nanoscale can provide
