Subject syllabus

1. Nomenclature and definition of nanocomposites.
2. Types of fillers (by shape: tubular, layered, particulate) inorganic and organic.
3. Functional nanomaterials as fillers, their preparation and properties with respect to applications (mechanical parameters, energy storage, environment, medicine).
4. Modification and functionalization of layered nanofillers (delamination/exfoliation, intercalation, decoration, anchoring, grafting).
5. Metal and oxide nanofillers (preparation and functionalization).
6. Carbonaceous nanoparticles and nanostructures for nanocomposites.
7. Mxenes - layered carbides and nitrides.
8. Polymer matrices (bio-polymers, conventional polymers, syntheses).
9. Metal matrices (pure metals, alloys).
10. Ceramic matrices (nitride, oxide, mineral).
11. Methods of processing nanocomposites (hot compounding, layering and deposition, mechanofusion).
12. Evaluation of structural parameters of nanocomposites (crystallinity, texture of disorder, bonding interactions, interface).
13. Mechanical and physical parameters of nanocomposites (elasticity, strength, hardness, conductivity, optical, rheological).
14. Analytical methods of evaluating nanocomposites (microscopic methods, spectral and structural).
15. Molecular models and simulations for nanocomposite materials.
