Nanocomposites are currently defined as a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has
one two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers or structures having nano-scale repeat
distances between the different phases that make up the material. The use of nanocomposites
with polymer metal or ceramic matrices has increased in various areas of engineering and
technology due to their special properties with applications in bioengineering battery
cathodes automotives sensors and computers as well other advanced industries. The present
volume aims to provide recent information on nanocomposites (materials manufacturing and
engineering) in six chapters. The chapter 1 of the book provides information on synthesis and
characterization of ceramic hollow nanocomposites and nanotraps. Chapter 2 is dedicated to
recent advances on preparation properties and applications polyurathene nanocomposites.
Chapter 3 described preparation characterization and properties of organoclays carbon
nanofibers and carbon nanotubes based polymer nanocomposites. Chapter 4 contains information on
mechanical and wear properties of multi-scale phase reinforced composites. Chapter 5 described
modeling mechanical properties of nanocomposites Finally chapter 6 is dedicated to polyanaline
derivates and carbon nanotubes and their characterization.This book is the essential reference
for academics materials and physics researchers materials mechanical and manufacturing
engineers and professionals in nanocomposite-related industries.
