A review on the very high nanofiller-content nanocomposites: Their preparation methods and properties with high aspect ratio fillers

Abstract For many years, the inorganic content in nanocomposites has seldom exceeded 10 vol%. Novel fabrication methods have been employed to incorporate high inorganic loading within the polymer matrix. This review reports recent progress in high filler-content nanocomposites with high aspect fillers and the various unique techniques used for their fabrication. This review will also highlight the high filler-content nanocomposites, including mechanical, electrical, gas barrier and flame-retardant properties, with particular emphasis on quantitative information.
