About the importance of thermodynamic properties for the understanding of nanoparticle-matrix interaction — •Bartosz Zielinski1, Jörg Baller1, Martine Philipp1, Ravi Bactavatchalou1, Ulrich Müller1, Jan Krüger1, Wulff Possart2, and Roland Sanctuary1 — 1LPM, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg — 2Universität des Saarlandes, Saarbrücken, Germany
Despite the tremendous importance of thermoset-based nanocomposites there is still a huge lack of understanding concerning the relation between the desired phenomenological properties and the implementation of unexpected structures due to the nanoparticles. We will show, that from the viewpoint of phenomenology investigations of static and dynamic thermodynamic properties are amongst the most promising. Combining selected scenarios of DSC and TMDSC provide a new view into the interaction mechanisms between nanoparticles and matrix. These results give access to the interpretation of the active role of the nanoparticles on network formation. As a model system we have chosen an epoxy thermoset filled with alumina nanoparticles.
