Journal of Polymer Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Herein, the review aims to compile some reportable work of researchers carried concerning the use of nanomaterials in the polymeric composites for significant improvements in the properties and to report the application areas of such nanocomposites. Carbon nanotubes, cellulose nanoparticles, titanium dioxide, and other nanoparticles are used in the polymeric composites to enhance their mechanical, electrical, inter-laminar, optical, chemical, electrochemical, electromagnetic shielding, and ballistic properties. Such nanocomposites have a wide range of applications in structural, biomedical, electronics, automobiles, aircraft, oil pipelines, gas pipeline construction, electromagnetic shielding, and protected areas. According to the reported results of researchers, the incorporation of nanomaterials into polymers significantly enhance their properties, which make them able to widen their application areas.
