“…On the other hand, the glass transition temperature was sometimes found to be affected by the introduction of the nano-sized particles. Results obtained by Jordan et al [5] confirmed that when there is good filler-polymer interaction, the glass transition temperature of amorphous polymers tends to increase with a decrease in the size of particles. For semi-crystalline polymers, the transition temperature of the amorphous phase decreases with an increase in particle concentration.…”

“…In order to prevent water absorption through the sides, the sides were carefully covered with fast-curing silicone rubber adhesive. The dried specimens were immersed in both distilled water and sea water at different preset temperatures (5,25,45, and 85 C). The maximum immersion time considered in this study is equal to 160 days.…”

“…The processing technology in recent years has been developed to allow the size of inclusions to go down to nanoscale. In order to be defined as nano-composite, at least on dimension of the particles must be in the range of 1-100nm 28 . Configuration changes in the matrix can have a significant impact on the properties if the dimension of the polymer chains is of the same order as the nano particles.…”

Due to their low cost, light weight and corrosive resistant features, polymer heat exchangers have been intensively studied by researchers with the aim to replace metallic heat exchangers in a wide range of applications. This paper reviews the development of polymer heat exchangers in the last decade, including cutting edge materials characteristics, heat transfer enhancement methods of polymer materials and a wide range of polymer heat exchanger applications. Theoretical modelling and experimental testing results have been reviewed and compared with literature. A recent development, the polymer micro-hollow fibre heat exchanger, is introduced and described. It is shown that polymer materials do hold promise for use in the construction of heat exchangers in many applications, but that a considerable amount of research is still required into material properties, thermal performance and life-time behaviour.

Abstract-The paper aims to study diffusivity measurement of polyurethane (PU) nanocomposite with incorporation of montmorillonite nanoclay cloisite B30 (B30) prepared by solution intercalation method using chloroform as a solvent. The mixed compositions based on PU/B30 were analyzed according to the following weight percentage using 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 4% of montmorillonite nanoclay cloisite B30. The morphology of the samples was observed through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR). The observation of SEM showed PU/B30 is not miscible meanwhile FTIR revealed that the surface segregation of the montmorillonite nanoclay cloisite B30 had not affected in PU. Next, water permeability test was conducted using nitrogen gas with different pressures. The pristine PU shows the lowest time taken for both pressures and contrary to the PU nanocomposite. This is supported by water absorption test in which the PU nanocomposite absorbs more water rather than the pristine PU.
