Dispersion and Characterization of Nickel Nanostrands in Thermoset and Thermoplastic Polymers

Nickel Nanostrands (NiNS) are nano-particles that are highly branched and have a high aspect ratio. These particles show promise as excellent additives to composites when electrical conductivity is desired. Unfortunately, there is very little research done on dispersing powdered NiNS in various poly...
