This review is designed to be a comprehensive source for polyamide (PA) nanocomposite research, including fundamental structure/property relationships, manufacturing techniques, and applications of these materials. This work presents the scientific framework for the advances in PA nanocomposite containing carbon nanofiller, and different methods applied in order to synthesis them. This review focuses on the scientific principles and mechanisms in relation to the methods of processing and manufacturing. A comprehensive discussion on technology, modeling, characterization, processing, manufacturing, and applications have been done. The processing and properties of PA nanocomposites with carbon nanofillers are investigated. In addition, the mechanical properties and morphology changes of PA with the incorporation of nanoparticles are described. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 57:475-494, 2017.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
