High-Speed Nanomechanical Property Mapping of Polyetherimide/Zinc Titanate Nanocomposites


Material Science

Determination of mechanical properties of modern nanocomposite materials through conventional macroscale test methods is always challenging and questionable. Nanoparticles interact with polymer molecules at a micron to nanoscale, and hence to precisely determine the properties of these composites, micron level test methods such as nanoindentation need to be utilized. In this work, we have used the nanoindentation techniques combined with a recently developed novel accelerated property mapping (XPM) technique to study the statistical quantification of mechanical properties such as hardness and modulus, and the variance of these properties across the phases of polyetherimide (PEI) nanocomposites reinforced with 5, 10, 15 wt. % of zinc titanate (ZnTiO3) nanoparticles.
