How do Nanocomposites Enhance Structural Applications?
Nanocomposites are materials that incorporate nanoscale fillers into a matrix to improve mechanical properties such as strength, toughness, and stiffness. Common nanoscale fillers include carbon nanotubes, graphene, and nanoclays. These fillers can enhance the performance of polymers, metals, and ceramics used in structural applications. For example, the addition of carbon nanotubes to polymers can create lightweight, yet incredibly strong materials for aerospace components.
