In
two or more of the same or different groups of materials, In order to combine
the best features or constitute a new feature,the material made by combining
with these materials is called "Composite Materials". In the
production of composite materials, polymer, metal, ceramic and their
derivatives are used as matrix. Thermoplastic polymer structure is one of the
most commonly used matrix materials. The main reasons are the eases of
processing, mechanical properties, flexible structures and low density of
polymers. It is determined that polymer nanocomposites varies according to
properties depending on chemical nature of the polymer and filler, the ratio of
crystalline of the polymers used and the order of the polymer chains.
Today,polymers become an alternative to the natural materials and have a wide
range of application. Polymeric nanocomposites are produced for up to several
areas like the automotive and aerospace industry, the construction industry,
sports equipment, household items. Today it is widely used in the field of
aircraft, rockets, missiles, and high-quality sports equipments and also is
used in automotive industry, tires, the construction and pressure-resistant
pipes. The use of composite materials in aerospace, aviation, robotics and the
other developing technologies are expected to be concentrated on in the next
years. In recent years, there is increasing demand for the materials that are
used in the polymer technology especially for adapting to the environment and
being ecological day after day. The composite material developed with the
addition of natural fiber becomes biocompatibilite and has durability. These
composite materials are used in many different areas as alternative products
with superior properties. Also, different surface modification processes, that
are applied for improving the compatibility between the hydrophilic natural
fibers and hydrophobic synthetic polymers, diversifies the application areas by
improving the physical and performance properties of composite material.
