Abstract
The world of nanotechnology and nanomaterials are witnessing dramatic challenges and moving from one visionary paradigm toward another. In the similar manner, nanocomposite applications are surpassing vast and versatile scientific boundaries. Material science and nanotechnology are two opposite sides of the coin today. Human civilization’s immense scientific prowess, scientific prudence, and scientific validation will all lead a visionary way in the true emancipation of science of nanotechnology. The authors in this paper deeply elucidate on the success, the vast potential, and the deep scientific and technological ingenuity in the applications of nanocomposites and composites in the packaging domain. Technology, engineering, and science are today in the path of newer scientific regeneration and deep vision. Chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and many diverse areas of engineering science are connected with the science of nanotechnology. In this well-researched chapter, the authors focus on the needs of nanotechnology, nanomaterials, and composites to human society. Composite science and material science are the needs of civilization and scientific progress today. In this review paper, the authors comprehend the vision of the application of nanocomposites and polymer science in packaging. Packaging technology is highly advanced today but still not fully explored. This well-researched treatise explores the hidden scientific truth of application of polymer science, composite science, and material science in packaging and the vast vision behind it.
