  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites

Abstract

An impact of nanoparticles physicochemical properties in various applications involves a good understanding between the nanoparticles and a systems physicochemical interactions of specific applications, especially in environmental and biological systems. This chapter is aimed to correlate the properties of nanomaterials such as size, shape, surface morphology and toxicity with its various applications using basic studies to offer a platform for engineering the next generation materials. Also, this chapter will provide the foundation for the study of nanocomposites, its current progress and a perspective on the findings.
