Processing and Industrial Applications of Sustainable Nanocomposites Containing Nanofillers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The performance properties of sustainable polymer matrix can be significantly improved by the incorporation of nanofillers (NFs) having a high aspect ratio and high active surface area. This chapter comprehensively emphasizes the processing of sustainable polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) containing NFs for potential industrial applications. Different fabrication techniques of sustainable PNCs such as intercalation method, sol-gel and direct dispersion method have been discussed briefly. The impact of these processing techniques on the properties of PNCs and their wide range of industrial applications like mechanical, electronic and biological are highlighted in this chapter. Furthermore, an overview is given on different types of NFs used for the preparation of sustainable PNCs for industrial application.
