Abstract
This chapter deals with a brief account on various topics in high performance polymers nanocomposites and their applications. It discusses the various topics such as liquid crystal polymers (LCP), polyamide 4, 6, (PA4,6), polyacrylamide (PAM), the influence of nanostructured multifunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxone on surface morphology, thermoplastic polyimide (TPI), performance properties and applications of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polymer containing phthalazinone moieties, polyesters: poly(ethylene terephthalate) – PET, poly(ethylene naphthalate) – PEN, high performance oil resistant blends of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), epoxydised natural rubber(ENR), unsaturated polyester and also nanocomposites from this by reinforcing functionalized nanofillers.
Keywords: High performance polymers, liquid crystal polymers, polyamide, polyacrylamide, thermoplastic polyimide, poly(ethylene terephthalate), ethylene propylene diene monomer, epoxydised natural rubber
1.1 Liquid Crystal Polymers
Liquid crystals (LC) combine the long-range positional and orientational order found in solid crystals and the statistical long-range disorder typical for isotropic liquids [1]. This point represents ...
