Perspective Chapter: Nanocomposites – Unlocking the Potentials for Diverse Applications

Abstract

Nanocomposites (NCS) are advanced materials consisting of a matrix material infused with nanoscale particles or fillers, exhibiting exceptional properties such as high conductivity, strength, reactivity, and thermal/electrical characteristics. This article provides an overview of nanocomposites, including their properties, preparation methods, and diverse applications across industries like aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy, water purification, and environmental bioremediation. Various techniques for nanocomposite preparation, such as electrospinning, are discussed along with their potential for producing tailored materials with enhanced properties. Challenges and future directions in nanocomposite research, including scalability and cost considerations, are highlighted, along with emerging trends and prospects in nanotechnology applications.
