Abstract

The process of selecting binders is complex because it requires finding a balance between improving material performance and reducing environmental impact. This involves challenges such as achieving nanoparticle dispersion, optimizing binder compatibility, and addressing environmental concerns. The main objective of this research on use the multimodal binder optimization characterization model (M-MBOCM) analysis to understand the intricate relationship between metal oxide nanoparticles, polymer matrices, and binders. These specialized nanocomposites have a wide range of potential applications. By intelligently selecting Scanning Characterization binders (SCB), industries can enhance material properties to meet specific requirements. This applies across various fields, from high-capacity energy storage devices to lightweight structural materials and smart sensors. This research involves analyzing metal oxide nanoparticle mage polymer nanocomposites with aqueous and nonaqueous binders in manganese dioxide-based cathodes (M-BC), hybrid supercapacitors (HS), and non-enzymatic glucose sensors (NEGS). The significance of M-BC in the present investigation results is based on advanced M-MBOCM and SCB techniques. The performance analysis ratio exceeds 95%, which is higher than the reported results for M-BC, HS, and NEGS. The scalability analysis ratio for M-MBOCM and SCM is observed to be higher than others, recorded at 93% and 88% respectively. These findings demonstrate the potential for enhanced nanocomposite materials in practical applications (lightweight) and drive their development.
