Definition

A polymer coating is defined as the chemical or physical binding of polymeric molecules on the surface of a substrate material.

Introduction

In the last two decades, the physical, chemical, and functional properties of polymers have been exploited to enhance the properties of nanomaterials. Polymer coatings are capable of shielding nanoparticles from adverse physiological environments, retarding their degradation or erosion, or protecting the body from the direct exposure to their toxic components. Recent advancements in polymer technology have also produced polymers able to change properties over time or according to environmental conditions (temperature, pH, etc.). Polymer-coated nanoparticles incorporated in nanocomposites have improved filler dispersion and developed materials with novel and sensational properties. Both natural and synthetic polymers can be used to modify nanomaterials through wet and dry surface-surface coupling...
