Nanocomposites are generally classified based on the type of matrix material used:
Polymer Matrix Nanocomposites (PMNCs): These involve a polymer matrix with nanoscale fillers such as carbon nanotubes, clays, or metal nanoparticles. Ceramic Matrix Nanocomposites (CMNCs): These consist of a ceramic matrix with embedded nanomaterials to enhance properties like toughness and thermal stability. Metal Matrix Nanocomposites (MMNCs): These involve a metal matrix with nanoscale reinforcements to improve mechanical strength and wear resistance.
