This document provides information on a final year project investigating conductive nanopolymer composites. The project aims to 1) analyze the composition between polymer and solvent to conduct electricity and 2) identify the optimum voltage of graphene. The student will characterize the composition of graphene and polyactic acid composites and determine the optimum voltage for graphene using equipment available in the faculty like an electrostatic controller and syringe spray.

Project Title:
CHARACTERIZATION OF CONDUCTIVE NANOCOMPOSITE POLYMER

Short Summary and Problem Statement:


Conductive
polymer nanocomposites, are a lesser known type of piezoresistive material.
.
A polymeric material can be made electrically conductive by randomly dispersing an
electrically conductive fillerphase. The filler size, shape and amount of filler material influence
the observed electrical properties of the macroscopic composite. Generally, it is
advantageous to have a filler particle with a small size, a high aspect ratio shape and
in sufficient quantity and this combination provides the maximum electrical conductivity .
Nanomaterials such as multi and singlewall carbon nanotubes and graphene are
ideally suited for imparting electrical conductivity in composite materials. In addition, polymer
nanocomposites for pressure sensing are simple to manufacture and can be scaled to any
size making.
Despite the widespread interest in conductive polymer nanocomposites and they have several
disadvantages that have restricted their use in practical applications.They possess much
weaker mechanical and thermal properties when put into comparison with specific materials
such as metals. The limited groups of polymer which graphene is able to interact efficiently
with usually contain aromatic rings. With the purpose of making graphene compatible with
wider variety of polymer matrices, the interfacial interactions have to be maximized through
chemical modification to introduce other functional groups to the pristine graphene
(Horacio et al., 2011).

Objectives (Please provide only two objectives):


To analyze the characterization of composition between polymer and
solvent to conduct electricity
To identify the optimum voltage of graphene.
