Abstract
Nanocomposites are a class of nanomaterials wherein one or more phases, of a nano-sized dimension (zero dimensions, one dimension, and two dimensions), are embedded in ceramic, metal, or polymer materials, etc. Nanoparticles, nanorods, nanospheres, nanofibers, nanocrystals, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are examples of the discrete units of nanocomposite materials. Nanocomposites exhibit multifunctional properties, such as high surface-to-volume ratios, high mechanical strength, high electrical or thermal conductivity, good chemical resistance, desirable optical properties, decreased gas and water permeabilities, flame retardancy, redox reactivity, and catalytic activity.
