Nanocomposites are prized for their enhanced mechanical, thermal, electrical, and barrier properties. For instance:
Mechanical Properties: They often exhibit increased tensile strength, toughness, and durability due to the reinforcement provided by nanoparticles. Thermal Properties: Enhanced heat resistance and thermal stability compared to traditional composites. Electrical Properties: Some nanocomposites exhibit improved electrical conductivity, making them useful in electronic applications. Barrier Properties: Improved resistance to gas and moisture penetration, beneficial for packaging materials.
