Nanostructured Polymer Blends

Chapter 3. Theoretical Modeling of Nanostructured Formation in Polymer Blends

By: Oluranti Sadiku-Agboola,Emmanuel Rotimi Sadiku

In recent years there has been a great deal of research on the subject of nanostructured materials. Structure across a range of length scales has been of particular interest. Theoretical modeling of nanostructured formation in polymer blends has gained considerable momentum due to the increased interest in nanostructures, such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanopores, and so on. Polymers show universal behavior on long length and time scales. Usually, the size of an ideal polymer is calculated from the freely jointed polymer chain model. The solubility and interaction parameters in nanostructured polymer blends are reviewed. Several computer simulation models for predicting mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of semicrystalline polymer and nanostructured polymer blends are discussed. Modeling of polymer in solution and the morphological control of nanostructured blends are also reviewed. Further development of nanostructured polymer blends depends on the fundamental understanding of their hierarchical structure and behavior, which requires multiscale modeling and simulation to provide various lengths and time scales. Atomistic-based simulation such as molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, and molecular mechanics are addressed for the multiscale modeling of nanostructured polymer blends for material design. A mathematical model based on the Cahn–Hilliard nonlinear theory of phase separation is also discussed.

Nanostructured Polymer Blends

Chapter 4. Compatibilization as a Tool for Nanostructure Formation

By: Emmanuel Rotimi Sadiku,Elijah Sobalaje Ogunniran

Great progress has been made in the science and technology of polymer-based nanomaterials over the last decade. Nanostructured polymer systems have attracted much scientific and applied research interest. The last two decades have witnessed significant advances in polymer science and technology generally, but more so for polymer blends. The idea of blending two (or more) polymers, especially immiscible blends, has come with a lot of challenges. Achieving this has brought to the fore the art and science (and engineering) of compatibilization. During the last few decades, the addition of nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, and so on has advanced even further the creation of blends, alloys, and composites with different polymers. In making these blends, intermediaries such as compatibilizers, coupling agents, and other additives are often employed to bring about blends that are satisfactory for the purposes they are intended to serve. Nanostructured polymer blends formation has strongly improved the properties and structural integrities of polymer blends, by employing compatibilization as a tool to achieve such properties and structural integrities of polymer blends. Reinforcing compatibilized polymer blends with nanosize additives has further strengthened the properties and integrities of polymer blends, alloys, and composites.

Nanostructured Polymer Blends

Chapter 8. Significances of Nanostructured Hydrogels for Valuable Applications

By: Kokkarachedu Varaprasad,Emmanuel Rotimi Sadiku,Koduri Ramam,Jaragula Jayaramudu,G. Siva Mohan Reddy

Nanostructured hydrogels represent a unique class of materials that synergizes the advantageous features of hydrogels. Research into nanostructured hydrogels for biomedical applications has seen great progress in recent years owing to their unlimited potential to advance human health. The development of nanotechnology provides opportunities to characterize, manipulate, and organize matter systematically at the nanometer scale. This is because nanostructured systems in general and nanostructured polymer hydrogels in particular have noble advantages as transporters for a wide range of drugs and tissue engineering scaffolds for biomedical (therapeutic) applications. This chapter explains the design and development of different nanostructured hydrogels and their applications in the biomedical field.
