    CBE Doctoral Dissertation: “From Nanoplates to Bottlebrushes: Engineering Thermodynamics in Polymer Nanocomposites” (Christian Tabedzki)

    December 11, 2023 @ 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM /
    DRL A2

    Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) represent a diverse class of materials where manipulating design parameters is crucial for tailoring material properties. Of utmost importance for nanocomposites is nanoparticle dispersion, which is affected by the nanoparticle itself as well as the overall polymer melt, providing two design routes. This dissertation explores PNCs through two distinctive systems: (1) […]
