Recent Advances on Polymer-Based Nanocomposite: A Brief Review

This review article is constructed in the form of an extensive source for researchers on polymer nanocomposites covering their structure property, manufacturing techniques, and potential applications when a small number of nanosized particles are added to a host polymer matrix. The exceptional structural, mechanical, and electrical properties of polymer nanocomposites after the addition of inorganic solid nanoparticles are elucidated by the large surface area of doped nanoparticles interacted with host polymer matrices. The conventional method of preparation of polymer nanocomposites makes it more interesting from the point of view of production mechanisms. The present brief review provides a sketch of different synthesis techniques, characterization, applications, along with the safety concerns for polymer nanocomposites.
