Abstract

Coalescence of properties of inorganic filler and polymer matrix provides fascinating and economic approach for tailoring the desired high performance materials. Due to unique capability of metal/metal oxides/ silsesquioxanes as nanofillers, they have attracted much attention to reinforce polymer matrices. We discuss here the influence of these nanofillers dispersion, interactions with polymer matrices, and consequent properties modification on technological applications.
