Nanocomposites for structural applications

Abstract

135-142Nanocomposites comprise multiphase materials such as metals, polymers inorganic ceramics where at least one constituent phase has one dimension less than 100 nm. Different types of nanosize reinforcements, e.g. fiber, nanoclays, nanospheres, nanopowder etc amorphous or crystalline have been described along with fabrication processes and characteristics properties of different types of nanocomposites for structural applications
