“…The idea is to incorporate chemically treated spherical nanoparticles with proper size, to attribute into the polymer matrix and disperse them at the nanoscale to minimize light scattering and thus, to attain high transmittance while realizing retention or improvements in some of the material and optical properties [7]. One method to facilitate dispersion of nanoparticles is to coat the nanoparticle with a thin layer of polymer to introduce steric stabilization [17].…”

Polymers are considered to be good hosting matrices for composite materials because they can easily be tailored to yield a variety of bulk physical properties. Moreover, organic polymers generally have long-term stability and good processability. Inorganic nanoparticles possess outstanding optical, catalytic, electronic and magnetic properties, which are significantly different their bulk states. By combining the attractive functionalities of both components, nanocomposites derived from organic polymers and inorganic nanoparticles are expected to display synergistically improved properties. The potential applications of the resultant nanocomposites are various, e.g. automotive, aerospace, opto-electronics, etc. Here, we review recent progress in polymer-based inorganic nanoparticle composites.

“…Chandra et al[125] measured the light transmittance of PC/Al 2 O 3 NCs. They illustrated that the light transmittance reduced with increasing the load of NP content.The authors also observed that the poly(styrene-maleic anhydride) copolymer-coatedalumina/PC NC showed a higher light transmittance in comparison to the unmodified of alumina NPs and improved knowledge on the dispersion and integration of the particles in the polymer matrix has opened new insights in the development of efficient NCs.…”

“…Nevertheless, the transmittance of the APEC2097 nanocomposites is low compared to PMMA nanoceramic composites published earlier (RitzhauptKleissl et al 2005(RitzhauptKleissl et al , 2006 because deagglomeration of the ceramic nanoparticles in the extruder is not sufficient during compounding. Quite recently Chandra et al (2008) investigated a different polycarbonate-nanosized aluminacomposite. They found a polymer decomposition during moulding also causing a yellowing of the hot pressed composite.…”

The addition of nanosized ceramics to polymers allows for a tailoring of the thermomechanical and optical properties of the used thermoplastic matrix polymers. In this work, the impact of nanosized c-alumina filler to polycarbonate APEC2097 on the compounding process and the resulting physical properties is reported. Polymer degradation during compounding affects a plasticising effect and a reduction of the Charpy impact strength. The refractive indices of the polycarbonate-alumina-composites increase with increasing solid load. Due to nanoparticle agglomeration the optical transmittance drops with growing alumina content.
