Polymer Nanocomposites in Biomedical Engineering

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Bioengineering ((LNBE))

Abstract

Nanomaterials have emerged as an extremely valuable asset in the world of material science. It’s unique, and substantial properties lurk scientist all over the world into incorporating them in various material synthesis. Composites are yet another powerful tool for the development of specific material according to our needs. Fusion of the above-mentioned two mighty tools results in birth of a whole new domain called nanocomposites. This unit provides details about different aspects of nanomaterials, composites, and their categories. This chapter talks thoroughly about the basics behind the various synthesis process involved along with optimization of various parameters related to fabrication of such nanocomposites. Among the pool of nanocomposites, silver nanoparticles and the composites based on these particles have harnessed much attention because of the striking properties of Ag nanoparticles like high electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical stability, catalytic activities, antimicrobial properties, nonlinear optical behavior, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Synthesis and development of AgNPs in the literature have been mentioned, and techniques have been reviewed. Detailed discussions based on each individual property have also been carried out along with exploring the applications in numerous varied fields.
