Polymer Composites for Engineering Applications: A Comprehensive Review
Keywords:
Chemical protection, synthesis, modelling, polymer, composite, materials, and polymer composite materialsAbstract
In-depth analysis of polymer composite materials (PCMs) synthesis and modelling methods is provided in this study, with a focus on the materials' adaptability and possibility for customised properties in a range of applications. The advantages and disadvantages of synthesis techniques such as solution casting, melt mixing, and in-situ polymerization are discussed. In addition, the paper explores sophisticated modelling techniques that help predict PCM behaviour, like molecular dynamics simulations and finite element analysis. A deeper comprehension of structure-property interactions is made possible by the combination of computational modelling and experimental synthesis, which empowers the design and optimisation of PCMs with higher performance features. PCMs can be designed with many functionalities, like as electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, for use in sophisticated electronics, aircraft, and biotechnology and artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used to forecast and optimise material qualities. The report provides possibilities for further research and innovation in the synthesis and modelling of polymer composites, thereby influencing the course of this dynamic subject, by recognising present obstacles and future prospects.
