2 A current perspective on nanocomposite and nanohybrid material: developments and trends
-
Akshay C. Jadhav
Abstract
The increasing demand for nanostructured materials with original chemicalphysical and morphological properties has given rise to nanocomposites and nanohybrid materials. These materials consist of organic and inorganic components interfaced at the nanoscale. This structure allows its recognition in materials science due to its extraordinary mechanical and chemical properties and multifunctional nature. Hybrid nanomaterials and nanocomposites are both able to synergistically combine the peculiar physicochemical properties of their components and give rise to collective properties due to their interaction at the nanoscale. Several parameters, including composition, concentration, morphology, etc., can be suitably modified to control the properties of nanohybrids and nanocomposites and the different applications for which they can be designed. The distinctive properties of nanocomposite materials involve significantly improved mechanical properties, barrier properties, weight reduction, and improved, long-lasting performance in terms of heat, wear, and scratchresistance. Developing nanocomposite and nanohybrid materials attracts keen interest in various industrial applications. The nanocomposites generally exhibit a 45% increase in hardness and a 70% increase in Young’s modulus compared to pure polymer matrix. Similarly, research shows that the tensile strength and strain at break of the composites shows increase by 35% and 40%, respectively. In addition, nanoscale components improved the thermal stability of the composites, with an increase in the onset degradation temperature, compared to the pure polymer matrix. This chapter aims to provide an overview and the current scenario of hybrid nanocomposites and nanohybrids, focusing on various potential applications of this fascinating class of materials.
