Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of novel nanocomposite materials with enhanced physical and chemical properties is one of the emergent topics of recent years. Since the development of affordable and available commercially nanomaterials, nanocomposites have become a most desirable product. The development of novel nanocomposites with enhanced optical properties has become of great interest for domains such as data transmission, sensors, nonlinear optics devices, etc. Electric/dielectric nanocomposites are significant in the research of novel supercapacitors or other renewable energy applications, nanocomposites with specific surface properties have become extremely attractive for antistatic, antibacterial and photocatalytic functional surface applications, and enhanced mechanical properties are desirable for a plethora of needs in transportation, home appliances, architectural applications. Simultaneously possessing more than one functionality is possible when employing nanocomposite materials if the synergistic effect of nano-components/matrix properties is achieved. The present Special Issue aims to address a broad range of subjects, from nanocomposite synthesis/fabrication, to the design and characterization of various nanocomposite materials with enhanced optical, electrical, mechanical, and surface-related properties, to the practical application of nanocomposites. The format of welcome articles includes original full papers, communications, and reviews.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanocomposite materials with enhanced optical properties;
- Nanocomposite materials with enhanced electrical properties;
- Nanocomposite materials with enhanced surface related properties;
- Nanocomposite materials with enhanced mechanical properties.
