Dear Sarah NADIAH Binti Nordin, what are the components of the nanocomposite? You can do:
- disslution, extraction, titration
- thermal analysis (TGA)
The volume fraction of a component in a composite material is the ratio of the volume of that component to the total volume of the composite. In the case of a polymer matrix nanocomposite, you'll typically have a polymer matrix and some nanoscale reinforcement material (e.g., nanoparticles).
The formula for calculating the volume fraction (Vf) of the reinforcement material in a polymer matrix nanocomposite is
Vf =V reinforcement/ V total
where:
- Vf is the volume fraction of the reinforcement material,
- V reinforcement is the volume of the reinforcement material, and
- V total is the total volume of the composite (matrix + reinforcement).
To determine these volumes, you may need experimental data or other information, such as the weight or mass fractions, densities, and geometrical considerations. Here's a general guide on how to obtain the necessary information:
