Outline<br />

What are Polymer Nanocomposites? Uniqueness?<br />

Length Scale, Interface, Number Density, Critical Concentration<br />

How are They Made? Options?<br />

Nanofillers, Nanoparticles, Synthesis, Interface Modification<br />

Application Examples:<br />

Automotive – Maintaining Performance to Provide Added Value<br />
