Nanocomposites: Recent Trends and Engineering Applications

Abstract:

The progress of nanotechnology and the resulting technological innovation has attracted the interest of researchers in the world. Most important effort isconcentratedon the capability to attain control of the nanoscale structures through inventive synthetic approaches. The significance of nanocomposites in different ranges applications including automotive, aerospace, marine, and construction, coating tissue engineering due to their excellent properties has led to develop the new design, material and processing technologies. Polymer nanocomposites provide prospectivefor improved mechanical properties, thermal properties, barrier properties and flame retardant properties than conventionally filled materials due to the higher surface area with nanofiller. This chapter was focused on the most recent growth in the area of nanocomposites and engineering applications. The type of nanocomposites and their fabrication techniques were explained.
