Abstract The present investigation is targeted to prepare nanocomposites based on binary blends of
polyetherimide (PEI)-silicone rubber incorporated with varied loadings of nanotitanium dioxide
particles. Nanocomposites have been prepared by melt blending process using twin screw
extruder. Thermal properties of the developed nanocomposites have been investigated with
the help of thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA).
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to analyze the morphological properties of the
nanocomposites. Mechanical properties (tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break,
impact strength) of the nanocomposites have been evaluated by universal testing machine
(UTM). Mechanical testing… More >
