What are Advanced Nanocomposites?
Advanced nanocomposites are materials that combine nanoscale components into a matrix to create a composite with enhanced properties. These materials leverage the unique properties of
nanoscale materials to produce composites with improved mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical characteristics.
Aerospace: Lightweight and high-strength materials for structural components.
Automotive: Enhanced durability and reduced weight for vehicle parts.
Biomedical: Drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and medical implants.
Electronics: Improved conductive materials for circuits and sensors.
Energy Storage: High-performance batteries and supercapacitors.
Dispersion: Achieving uniform distribution of nanoparticles within the matrix.
Interfacial Bonding: Ensuring strong adhesion between the nanoscale components and the bulk material.
Scalability: Developing cost-effective and scalable manufacturing processes.
Environmental Impact: Assessing the long-term environmental and health impacts of nanocomposites.
