Abstract
In this chapter, nanomechanical properties and interphase dimensions of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) bionanocomposite films were measured by a peak force quantitative nanomechanical tapping mode (PFQNM). Our results revealed that the interphase in case of PVA/nanodiameter bamboo charcoal (NBC) bionanocomposites has higher nanoelastic properties and reinforcement efficiency than those of PVA/halloysite nanotube (HNT) bionanocomposites and PVA/Cloisite 30B clay bionanocomposites. Such results are associated with higher interphase volume per unit particle volume in case of PVA/NBC bionanocomposites, as opposed to the other two bionanocomposites.
