Nanocomposite

An example of a nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material with one phase having one, two, or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures with nanoscale repeat intervals between the various phases that make up the material. The concept behind nanocomposite is to employ components with dimensions in the nanometer range to design and develop new materials with unheard-of flexibility and enhancements to their physical qualities. In its broadest sense, this definition can refer to porous media, colloids, gels, and copolymers, but it is typically understood to refer to solid mixtures made up of a bulk matrix and one or more nano-dimensional phases that have different properties because of differences in their structure and chemistry. The nanocomposite will have significantly different mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, electrochemical, and catalytic characteristics from.  An example of a nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material with one phase having one, two, or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures with nanoscale repeat intervals between the various phases that make up the material.
