What Is Nano Polymer Masterbatch?
Masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments, additives, or other functional agents encapsulated in a carrier resin. It is widely used in the plastics industry to enhance the properties of plastic products during the manufacturing process.
Concentrated mixture of nanoparticles like carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal oxides, etc. , dispersed in a polymer matrix is called Nano polymer masterbatch
