Studies on Characterization of Polymer Composites and Analysis of the Data with Different Mathematical Models

Abstract

Polymer composite films were prepared by doping suitable inorganic salts, employing solution casting technique. These composites are characterized by analytical measurements to quantify microstructural, conducting, optical and mechanical properties using required analysis. It was evident from the literature that, the most of the polymer composites do not always show a linear changes in its properties with the concentration of dopant. To overcome this conundrumic results, we have used various statistical approaches in our study. Methods to understand physical parameters and to define structure property relations are also stated here. These mathematical methods will serve as effective tools in understanding physical properties and defining the characteristic changes in a material with independent variable of consideration (dopant concentration). We have made use of statistical methods like functional data analysis and matlab simulations to achieve the said objective. newline
