Based on the general engineering and plastics, the strength, flame retardancy and toughness, impact resistance, antibacterial and aging resistance properties of plastics are enhanced by filling, blending strengthening, filling and other techniques.

What can nanomaterials do to alter plastics?

1. Resistance to aging of reinforced plastics

The process of aging polymer materials particularly photooxidation aging begins at the surface of products or materials that show signs of discoloration, cracking, pulverization, glossiness decrease, and gradually moves to the inside. The properties of polymers that prevent aging directly impact the service life and the environment, particularly for agricultural plastics as well as plastic building materials. This is not just an indicator that requires careful attention, but is also an important aspect of polymer chemical chemistry. The wavelength of sunlight is 200-400nm. The ultraviolet spectrum of 280400nm can cause the molecular chain of polymer to break and cause the material to begin age. Nano-oxides, like nano-alumina and nano-titanium oxide and others, have excellent absorption properties in the both microwave and infrared. A proper mix of nano SiO2 and TiO2 will absorb a significant amount of ultraviolet radiation to protect plastics from being damaged by sunlight. They also help to stop plastics from cracking, discoloration , and other damage caused by light, making the material anti-aging.

2. Enhance the anti-mildew and anti-bacterial properties of plastics

Antibacterial plastics are typically made by adding antimicrobial or antibacterial masterbatch into the resin. Since plastic molding must undergo high temperatures and pressure, there are organic antimicrobial agents that are able to adapt to temperatures of high temperature. Metal powders that are traditionally used to combat bacteria such as zinc nitrate and copper sulfate Nitrate are difficult to mix directly into thermoplastics. Inorganic nano-antibacterial powders are specially processed to produce antibacterial plastic masterbatch that is easy to use in plastic products and has excellent chemical compatibility to plastics. It aids in the dispersal of antimicrobial agents. Inorganic silver ions are transported into nano titanium dioxide nano-silicon aluminum oxide, as well as other nano-materials made of inorganic materials, and the resulting powder exhibits good antibacterial properties. It is combined with plastics, extruded and shaped by ultraviolet radiation to create antibacterial plastics. Its antibacterial properties are created through the gradual release of antimicrobial agents in order to create the antibacterial effects.

3. Enhance the strength and toughness of plastics

If the second component adds the second substance to the matrix, the composite is created, and a more complete material is created through compounding which can improve the strength of the material and also increase the impact durability of the material. Nanomaterials are emerging as a an innovative method and means to strengthen and enhance the modifications of polymers. The defects on the surface of the tiny particle size dispersed phases are comparatively small and there are a lot of non-paired electrons. The ratio of the surface atomic number to the total atomic number of nanoparticles is increased dramatically as the particle decreases in size. Crystal field environments and the binding energy of surface atoms differ from the ones of internal atoms, which is why they exhibit a high chemical activity. Due to the micronization of the crystal field and the growth of active surface atoms, the energy of the surface is significantly increased, which means it is able to be tightly integrated with the polymer substrate and is excellent compatibility. When exposed to external forces it is easily detached from the substrate , and is able to better transfer the stress. In the same way when it comes into contact with the stress field it will create more microcracks and deformations in the materialthat could result in the substrate to swell and use up a significant amount of impact energyin order to accomplish the goal of toughening and strengthening simultaneously. The most commonly used nano-materials include nano alumina, nano silica nano-calcium carbonate, and so on.

4. Enhance the thermal conductivity of plastics

Thermally conductive plastics are type of plastic product with excellent thermal conductivity, which typically exceeds 1Wper (m. K.). The thermal conductive plastics are becoming more and more popular because of their lightweight and high thermal conductivity. They also have easy injection molding, low processing costs, and so on. Due to its excellent heat conductivity and insulation, nano-alumina is extensively used in thermally conductive plastics, thermal conductive rubber, construction age, thermally conductivity coatings, and many other fields. In comparison to metal filler, nano-alumina or nano-magnesia will not only increase the thermal conductivity, but also enhance the insulation effect and the mechanical properties of plastics could be enhanced.

5. Enhance Plastics’ processability

Certain polymers, like ultra-high molecularweight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a viscosity average molecular weights of over 150 minutes, possess excellent broad properties, however they are not easily made and processed due to their high viscosity, which hinders their use and popularity. Utilizing the low interlaminar friction coefficients of layers of silicate, the nano-rare earth/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite was made by fully mixing UHMWPE with layers of silicate, which effectively decreases the interlocking of the UHMWPE molecular chain , and also reduce the viscosity. It plays a significant role in the lubrication process, thereby greatly increasing the processability.

6. Nanomaterials make plastics useful.

Metal nanoparticles are heterogeneous in their nucleation that can trigger the formation of certain crystal forms that provide toughness for the material. When polypropylene is stuffed with nanoparticles of metal with a low melting point It is discovered that they can serve as a kind of conductive channel, enhancing and toughening polypropylene as well as its lower melting point also enhances the processing capabilities of composites.
