We investigate nanocomposites, that is, dispersions of magnetite nanoparticles in an epoxy resin, by means of broadband dielectric and magnetic spectroscopy. The molecular dynamics of the polymer matrix is altered by the nanoparticles. Due to the formation of agglomerates neither permittivity nor permeability can be described with known effective medium models. We use the spectral representation (Bergman theorem) to show that a model-free evaluation of the low-frequency permeability of the nanoparticles can be achieved by combining dielectric and magnetic data. In addition, the ferromagnetic resonance is studied experimentally. It occurs near 3 GHz and is independent of the particle concentration.

The field of polymer-clay nanocomposites has attracted considerable attention as a method of enhancing polymer properties and extending their utility. Layered silicates dispersed as a reinforcing phase in a polymer matrix are one of the most important forms of such inorganic-organic nanocomposites, making them the subject of intense research. We have recently prepared several thermoset-based nanocomposites with improved thermal and mechanical properties. This paper is primarily focused in studying the effects of nano clay particles such as montmorillonite on improving mechanical and thermal properties of the polymer matrix composite. Epoxy and vinyl ester nanocomposites were prepared by adding different weight percentages (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5% and 10%) of montmorillonite nano clay particles to epoxy and vinyl ester matrices. The results show significant improvements in mechanical and thermal properties of the nanostructured materials with low loading of organo silicates. Thermal property measurement includes dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Mechanical properties such as flexural strength and flexural modulus of polymer matrix were improved in nano structured materials owing to their unique phase morphology and improved interfacial interactions. Molecular dispersion of the layered silicate within the cross-linked matrix was verified using Wide Angle X-Ray Diffraction (WAXD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) revealing the intercalated nanocomposites were formed.

Copper(II) and nickel(II) ions were bonded in complexes of salicylideneimine type on a glycidyl methacrylate-ethylenedimethacrylate copolymer. The geometry of the complexes on the polymer was studied by measuring their magnetic properties, EPR spectra, and ultraviolet-visible spectra.Only paramagnetic complexes possessing a pseudo-tetrahedral configuration were found. The effect of the polymer matrix and of the immobility of the bonded Schiff base on the distortion of the coordination sphere of the central ion is discussed.

Nowadays natural fibre composites have gained great significance as reinforcements in polymer matrix composites. Composite material based on a polymer matrix reinforced with natural fibres is extensively used in industry due to their biodegradability, recyclability, low density and high specific properties. A study has been carried out here to investigate the fibre volume fraction effect of hemp fibre woven fabrics/PolyPropylene (PP) composite laminates on the tensile properties and impact hammer impact test. Initially, composite sheets were fabricated by the thermal-compression process with desired number of fabric layers to obtain composite laminates with different fibre volume fraction. Uniaxial, shear and biaxial tensile tests were performed and mechanical properties were calculated. Impact hammer test was also carried out to estimate the frequency and damping parameters of stratified composite plates. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis was performed to observe the matrix and fibre constituent defects. Hemp fabrics/PP composite laminates exhibits viscoelastic behaviour and as the fibre volume fraction increases, the viscoelastic behaviour decreases to elastic behaviour. Due to this, the tensile strength increases as the fibre content increases. On the other hand, the natural frequency increases and damping ratio decrease as the fibre volume fraction increases.
