NANOCOMPOSITES OF POLYMERS COMPOUNDED
WITH VARIOUS NANOINCLUSIONS:EFFECTS ON VISCOELASTICITY, CRYSTALLIZATION, CROSS-LINKING AND DEVELOPMENT OF ULTIMATE PROPERTIES
DILHAN M. KALYON, STEVENS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) consist of a polymeric binder into whichvarious particles of nanoscale dimensions, including single and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, graphene and nanoclays, are incorporated. Thedifferent functionalities of the polymeric binder and the nanoinclusions andthe possibility of heterogeneous structuring at multiscales enable the useof PNCs in myriad industrial applications (e.g., scaffolds for tissue engi-neering, nanomedicine, membranes, intumescent and other functionalcoatings, solar cells, electronic devices, sensing and high-strength applications).The promises of PNCs are especially encouraging since their ultimateproperties are superior to those of conventional composites even at rela-tively low concentrations of the nanoinclusions. however, there are significantchallenges associated with the processing of the PNCs and especially thedispersion control of the nanoinclusions within the polymer phase thatseverely limit their utilities. Furthermore, the incorporation of nanoinclusionsintroduces very substantial changes in the development of crystallinity andcrystalline morphologies for semi-crystalline polymers and alters the ratesof curing for thermosetting polymers, to in turn significantly affect the ulti-

President’s Message
For the past several years, the Palisades-New Jersey Section has been actively in-volved with our student chapter atRutgers and we will have a joint meetingwith them in March. At that meeting, wewill continue our presentations on how topresent oneself and how to look for a
better job or just a job. Beginning last year, we initiatedworking with Stevens Institute of Technology to explore thepossibility of establishing a student chapter there. Stevensis a remarkable regional center of polymer research and de-velopment. This year, the Stevens students won the Surehouse competition, officially known as the U.S. Departmentof Energy Solar Decathlon 2015. The name Sure is a com-bination of the key characteristics of the house, SUstainableand REsilient. By innovative use of plastics, particularly vinyland fiber composites, the Stevens Sure house is fully solarpowered and uses 90% less energy than a conventionalhouse of its size and composition. It’s intended to be ahouse of the future, adaptable to a changing climate andable to withstand extreme weather events such as hurri-cane Sandy. For a detailed article on how the Stevens stu-dents built the house to win the competition, check thecurrent issue of Plastics Engineering (January, 2016, pp.34-5). Later this year, we plan to have a joint meeting withthe students at Stevens to explore further the possibility ofa chapter there and to meet some of the talented studentswho will be so important to the future of plastics professionals.
In the upcoming February meeting, we will have as ourspeaker, Prof. Dilhan Kalyon from Stevens, who is the Insti-tute Professor there and also, among his many honors, aFellow of the Society of Plastics Engineers. he will discussthe use of various nanoparticles, such as carbon nan-otubes, graphene, and nanoclays, in commodity and engi-neering polymers to form polymer nanocomposites (PNC’s).Prof. Kalyon will show by review of case studies how PNC’scan attain superior properties, which is the good news. hewill also show how processing and procedures have to beadapted to work with them, which are the challenges. Thismeeting will be a step toward our ongoing relationship withStevens and will give us an insight into a still developingtechnology that has great potential for the future.

mate properties. The various properties including the viscoelas-ticity, swelling behavior, and flammability of the shaped PNCsare intimately related to the dispersion state of the nanoinclu-sions and the processing methods and procedures need to beselected accordingly. In this presentation a number of casestudies involving the compounding of multi-walled nanotubesand nanoclays into various engineering and commodity plastics(e.g., poly(butylene terephthalate), poly(ether ether ketone),poly(vinylidene fluoride), Nylon 11, poly(ethylene glycolmonoacrylate) and epoxies) and the development of structureand ultimate properties of the resulting PNCs will be presented.
BIography:Dilhan Kalyon holds the Institute Professor Chair at Stevens Instituteof Technology and is affiliated with the Chemical Engineering andMaterial Science as well as the Biomedical Engineering, Chemistryand Biological Sciences Departments. He is also the founding di-rector of the Highly Filled Materials Institute since 1989. Prof. Kalyonhas received the Thomas Baron award in fluid-particle systems ofAmerican Institute of Chemical Engineers (2008), the InternationalResearch award of Society of Plastics Engineers (2008), and anHonorary M. Eng. degree, honoris causa (1994) from Stevens In-stitute of Technology. He was elected Fellow of the Society of Plas-tics Engineers (2004) and Fellow of the American Institute ofChemical Engineering (2006). He can be reached [email protected].

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEE LIST
The PlastiVan STEM Education Program was outstanding! Thank you very much for your hard work and for providing this op-portunity for the sixth grade classes at our school. Margie Weiner's talents are very evident. I really enjoyed her teaching approachand the way she conducts activities that best engage students. The expressions on the students' faces were priceless. Thankyou for your community-minded efforts, generosity, and commitment to science education. Our students and staff really appre-ciate your contribution to this program and send our deepest appreciation.
Jeff Lichter, Sixth Grade Teacher, Roy W. Brown Middle School, Bergenfield, NJ
On behalf of the students and staff of Schuyler-Colfax Middle School, I would like to thank you for once again bringing MargieWeiner and the PlastiVan program to our school. The enthusiasm shown by our students is a testament to Margie andthe hands-on nature of the program.
Mrs. Aimee Toth, M.Ed., Principal, Schuyler-Colfax Middle School, Wayne Township Public Schools
Thanks to Our Section for Supporting the PlastiVan Program
