ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an important insight into the use of TA methods to study the properties, including limitations, of polymer nanocomposites. It aims to demonstrating flexible applications in nanomaterial science in the emerging field. Scattering of X-rays and diffraction of Bragg will obtain morphological and structural information of the nanomaterials examined. Transmission electron microscopy is used to examine a nanocomposite material's think thickness and thus, due to CN distribution and dispersion, is the most effective microscopy technique. Electron microscopy is the only technique that offers very clear proof of intercalation and exfoliation of the filler in the polymer matrix, allowing the morphological characteristics of the polymer nanocomposites to be quantified straightaway. Due to the presence of nanomaterials in different permutations and combinations, containing different combinations of nanomaterials and ligands for different applications, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can irrevocably analyze the diversified spectrum of structural and chemical properties of nanomaterials in solid and liquid states with atomic-level resolution.
