Abstract

Abstract: Nanocomposites has floated in the market as the best in class material related to many sectors of manufacturing. Base material is embedded with nanoparticles to form nanocomposites. Afterwards, layered formation known as interphase starts to take place. It is the link (interface) between the base material (polymer) and the nanoparticle. Up till now, the problem of finding the material properties in this interphase has become a challenge for researchers and scientists. This piece of work corresponds to analyzing the possible types of variations in properties within interphase. Some power law may govern the distribution of material properties in nanocomposites and unit cell of same may be investigated. For getting the values of final properties of polymer nanocomposites, ideation of variation in the interphase area is quite essential. The huge improvement in the material properties in nanocomposites is observed just because of the zone of interphase. As it is a very difficult area, as far as its property analysis is concerned, So extensive literature survey is required for proceeding ahead. Nanocomposites have nowadays also coined in the form of novel materials for various processes like additive manufacturing.
