Tohoku University Technology: Evaluation Methods for Polymer Nanocomposites: T24-028
Demonstrate true value in the development of new materials and the design of optimal operating conditions.
Polymer nanocomposite materials are expected to have various applications, including battery materials, organic thin film materials, and automotive bodies, and development is underway. The manufacturing of these materials utilizes melt blending. During the mixing of polymers and nanoparticles, the operating conditions have been set empirically and exploratively, making it difficult to efficiently find the optimal control methods. This invention proposes an evaluation method that allows for the classification of the agglomeration state of nanoparticles appearing in polymer nanocomposite materials. By observing the components of the composite materials and their microstructures, it has become possible to evaluate the behavior of materials obtained from the blending process. Using this evaluation method as a guideline, it is expected to pave the way for the development of novel polymer nanocomposite materials and the design of optimal operating conditions, leading to improvements in operational efficiency in the field.
