Abstract

Carbon polymer nanocomposite is a type of composite material that combines carbon-based materials with polymers and nanoparticles to achieve enhanced properties. These materials are designed to take advantage of the unique properties of each constituent to create a new material with superior performance compared to individual components. Nanocomposites composed of carbon-based polymers are the wonder and novel materials of contemporary research. At the forefront of a more recent scientific revolution, both material science and composite science are involved. Polymer science and nanotechnology are inextricably linked in today’s modern science. The subjects of environmental engineering science and nanotechnology require focused attention since these professions currently offer limited solutions for the increasingly pressing problems of groundwater contaminated with heavy metal and drinking water purification. Carbon polymer composites play a significant role in numerous modern applications due to their excellent electrical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal capabilities. Carbon polymer composites are viewed as desirable candidates for the manufacture of nanocomposite materials due to their nanoscale geometries, high aspect ratio, and specific surface area. Due to the shape-dependent nature of their physical and chemical characteristics as well as their thickness, carbon polymer nanocomposites have demonstrated excellent catalytic activity in organic chemical processes. It has been discovered that the catalytic product from the usage of carbon polymer nanocomposites is of tremendous utility in a variety of sectors, inclusive of material sciences, medicinal, and nutritional for biotechnology. As a result, the demand for carbon nanocomposites has grown quickly and the creation of new preparation techniques elevates a higher level of interaction.
