Nanocomposites: Wonderful Performance

 

Nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material.  Best example is bone.  Size of nanomaterial changes its properties. For examples: <5 nm for catalytic activity, <20 nm for making a hard magnetic material soft, <50 nm for refractive index changes, and <100 nm for achieving superparamagnetism, mechanical strengthening or restricting matrix dislocation movement.

 

Nanocomposites are gaining huge importance in recent times on account of characteristics such as high tensile strength, better optical and magnetic properties, high resistance to corrosion, high thermal and electronic conductivity. The market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period on account of its wide range of applications including building & construction, automotives, electronics & electrical, IT, energy and packaging.
