| Course Objectives | Course Objective The aim of the course is to examine the changes in the physical, mechanical and chemical behavior of polymeric materials when blended with nano-materials. Throughout the course, nano-materials mixed into polymer matrices in the literature will be introduced. Then, the processing and characterization of the obtained nanocomposites will be examined. The remaining time of the course will end with explaining the purposes of obtaining these polymer nanocomposites. |
| Course Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
| Course Content | Nano-material types, compatibility of nano-materials with polymer matrices and mixing methods, how the obtained polymer nanocomposites are produced and how these products are characterized, and the production of specific polymer nanocomposites and their literature comparisons. |
