Enhancing UV Resistance of Polycarbonate Blends with Hybrid Nanofiller Additives

Abstract

Hybrid nanofiller additives were developed and incorporated into polycarbonate blends to enhance UV resistance. The composites showed a significant reduction in yellowing index and mechanical degradation after prolonged UV exposure. The implications of these findings extend across various industrial applications including packaging, biomedical devices, automotive parts, and construction materials. Future work will focus on scaling synthesis methods, evaluating environmental stability, and conducting long-term performance tests. The results contribute to the growing body of research on additive-enhanced polymers and open avenues for optimizing their use under practical service conditions.
