to mechanical properties of epoxy composite reinforced recycle rubber.
1.5 Research Methodology
Figure 1.1: The Methodology Structure
4 In material selection process, it is establishing the link between material and
function. It is important to start with the full menu materials in mind and failure to do so many mean a missed opportunity according by Michael 2005, p. 80. Figure 1.1
shows the project methodology which used in this study. The objectives and scopes of the project were defined at the beginning of the project. Literature review was
done to understand the nature of the project and also involve the experiment and the scope study. The objective of the project was defined by the experiment.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
Nanotechnology, shortened to nanotech, is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures sized
between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices within that size N. Taniguchi, 1974
Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, from
developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale to investigating whether we can directly control matter on the atomic scale Kahn and Jennifer, 2006
There has been much debate on the future implications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast
range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as
with any introduction of new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials, Christina, et al., 2007 and their potential
effects on global economics, as well as speculation about various doomsday scenarios. These concerns have led to a debate among advocacy groups and
governments on whether special regulation of nanotechnology is warranted.
PCC stands for Precipitated Calcium Carbonate also known as purified, refined or synthetic calcium carbonate. It has the same chemical formula as other types of
