*Designed materials that have one or more properties that can be

significantly changed in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as

stress, temperature, moisture, pH, electric or magnetic fields.

SMART MATERIALS

Page 6: Smart Materials & Devices

Multiphase material that exhibits a significant proportion of the properties of both constituents such that a better combination of properties is realized.

Composites

Page 7: Smart Materials & Devices

*In addition, the constituent phases must be chemically dissimilar and separated by a distinct interface.

Thus most metallic alloys and many ceramics do not fit this definition because their multiple phases are formed.

Composites

Page 8: Smart Materials & Devices

• Composites are a combination of two or more organic or inorganic components one of which serves as a matrix holding the materials together and then other of which serves as reinforcement in the form of fibers

• Two inherently different materials that when combined together produce a material with properties that exceed the constituent materials.

• Composites are lightweight and strong but they are complex to manufacture, expensive .

Composites

Page 9: Smart Materials & Devices

Many composite materials are composed of just two phases; one is termed the matrix, which is continuous and surrounds the other phase, often called dispersed phase.

The properties of composites are a function of the properties of the constituent phases, their relative amounts and the geometry of the dispersed phase.

Composites

Page 10: Smart Materials & Devices

Engineering Applications: Composite materials have been used in aerospace, automobile, and marine applications. (Mechanical Engee.) Recently, composite materials have been increasingly considered in civil engineering structures. The latter applications include seismic retrofit of bridge columns (Fig. 4), replacements of deteriorated bridge decks (Fig. 5), and new bridge structures (Fig. 6).

A simple example of a normal composite can be considered – we do have concrete for our houses.

What exactly is this concrete?

•It’s a blend of cement, sand, and metal rod.

•These composition changes the total property of the material used. It becomes so hard that it can withstand tonnes of weight equally.

•It’s from this concept we device the idea about the composites.

Composite: Example

Page 15: Smart Materials & Devices

A nanocomposite is as a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm)

NANOCOMPOSITES

Page 16: Smart Materials & Devices

Constituents have at least one dimension in the nanometer scale.

– Nanoparticles (Three nano-scale dimensions)

– Nanofibers (Two nano-scale dimensions)

– Nanoclays (One nano-scale dimensions)

NANOCOMPOSITES

Page 17: Smart Materials & Devices

Properties of Nanocomposites

• Tiny particels with very high aspect ratio, and hence larger surface area.

• Larger surface area enables better adhesion with the matrix/surface.

• Improvement in the mechanical performance of the parent material.

• Better transparency due to small size(>wavelength of light).

Size limits for these effects have been proposed

< 5 nm for catalytic activity

< 20 nm for making a hard magnetic material soft

< 50 nm for refractive index changes

< 100 nm for achieving superparamagnetism, mechanical strengthening.

Page 20: Smart Materials & Devices

Nanoclays

• Silicates layers separated by an interlayer or gallery.

• Silicates layers are ~ 1 nm thick, 300 nm to microns laterally.

• Polymers as interlayers.

• Tailor structural, optical properties

Page 21: Smart Materials & Devices

Nanofibers/Nanotubes

• Nanotubes in metal, metal oxide and ceramic matrix have also been fabricated.

• Nanotubes in polymer matrices by mixing, then curing.

• Most important filler category in nanocpomposites

In mechanical terms, nanocomposites differ from conventional composite materials *Exceptionally high surface to volume ratio of the reinforcing phase and/or its exceptionally high aspect ratio.

The reinforcing material can be made up of particles (e.g. minerals), sheets (e.g. exfoliated clay stacks) or fibres (e.g. carbon nanotubes or electrospun fibres).

The area of the interface between the matrix and reinforcement phase(s) is typically an order of magnitude greater than for conventional composite materials.

Nanocomposite VS Composite

Page 23: Smart Materials & Devices

Nano composites are found in nature also. It is found in abalone

(small or very large-sized edible sea snail) and bones.

Nanocomposite

Page 24: Smart Materials & Devices

• Greater tensile /flexural strength

• Reduced weight for the same performance

• Flame retardant properties

• Improved mechanical strength

• Higher electrical conductivity/chemical resistance

Synthesis of Nanocomposites

• Chemical Synthesis: 1. Gas Phase Synthesis2. Chemical Vapor Condensation3. Combustion Flame Synthesis4. Liquid Phase Synthesis

Page 26: Smart Materials & Devices

Gas Phase Synthesis(Synthesis of ultra pure metal powders/metal oxides(ceramics) )

• The nano powder formed normally has the same composition as the starting material.

• * The starting material, which may be a metallic or inorganic material is vaporized using some source of energy

• * The metal atoms that boil off from the source quickly loose their energy.

• These clusters of atoms grow by adding atoms from the gas phase and by coalescence

Page 27: Smart Materials & Devices

• A cold finger is a cylindrical device cooled by liquid nitrogen. The nano particles collect on the cold finger

• The cluster size depends on the particle residence time and is also influenced by the gas pressure, the kind of inert gas, evaporation rate of the starting material.

• The size of the nano particle increases with increasing gas pressure, vapor pressure and mass of the inert gas used.

Page 28: Smart Materials & Devices

Nanocomposites

Chemical Vapor Condensation • The precursor vapor is passed through a hot walled reactor.

• The precursor decomposes and nano particles nucleate in the gas phase.

• The nano particles are carried by the gas stream and collected on a cold finger.

• The size of the nano particles is determined by the particle residence time, temperature of the chamber, precursor composition and pressure.

Page 29: Smart Materials & Devices

Liquid Phase Synthesis • Two chemicals are chosen such that they react to produce the

material we desire

• An emulsion is made by mixing a small volume of water in a large volume of the organic phase.

• A surfactant is added. The size of the water droplets are directly related to the ratio of water to surfactant.

• The surfactant collects at the interface between the water and the organic phase.

• If more surfactant were to be added, smaller drops would be produced and therefore, as will become apparent, smaller nano-particles.

Page 30: Smart Materials & Devices

Combustion Flame Synthesis • Energy to decompose the precursor may be supplied by burning a fuel-air mixture with the

precursor.

• In order to reduce agglomeration of the particles in the flame, the flame is specially designed to be low pressure.

• If you have observed the flame of a candle, you would have noticed that the flame consist of a blue center and a yellow to red periphery.

• This is because the temperature in the flame varies with position in the flame.

• Such a variation in the temperature profile of the flame would cause nanoparticles of different sizes to grow in the different regions of the flame.
