  • Patent number: 10494491
    Abstract: The present invention includes the efficient dispersion and high loading of fillers in a thermoplastic polymer matrix. In a first general embodiment, the present invention includes a method wherein fillers are first synthesized and dispersed in a liquid monomer. The liquid monomer is then polymerized to a solid. The nanofillers may be silver nanoparticle/nanowire fillers. Ethylene glycol may serve as a solvent, reducing agent as well as precursor monomer for polymerization. In a second general embodiment, the present invention includes a method wherein fillers may be separately synthesized (or obtained commercially) and then added and dispersed in a liquid monomer. The liquid monomer is then polymerized to a solid. In a third general embodiment, a composite is synthesized using interfacial polycondensation. This is accomplished by aggressive mixing of two solvents during the reaction. The aggressive mixing forms microdroplets (i.e.
