Preparation of polymer composites based on polymer matrix and surface-modified nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes, 2D particles as graphene, MXene and other inorganic nanoparticles, and the study of their properties. The composites will be prepared in a variety of methods, such as melt mixing, solution casting, and others. The modification of the surface of nanofillers will be evaluated with respect to their dispersion in a polymeric matrix, which will be studied by various techniques. The prepared nanocomposites will be investigated as sensors, actuators and materials for new types of rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors.
