High performance polymer by plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition technique
Plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIII&D) technique is used to fabricate metal-polymer nanocomposites with metal nanoparticles at size of 5 - 20 nm embedded in a polymer matrix. Because of quantum confinement effects from these metal nanoparticles as well as their interactions...

| Summary: | Plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIII&D) technique is used
to fabricate metal-polymer nanocomposites with metal nanoparticles at size of 5 - 20
nm embedded in a polymer matrix. Because of quantum confinement effects from these metal nanoparticles as well as their interactions with surrounding polymer matrix, metal-polymer nanocomposites possess novel mechanical, electrical, optical and biomedical properties that are not obtainable in their bulk forms. This thesis is dedicated to the fabrication, characterization, application and stability of these high performance polymers. |
