    Nanocomposites are materials made of two or more materials mixed to combine their properties. Nanocomposites contain at least one phase in the nanometer range. They can achieve multi-functional properties like optical, magnetic, and thermal properties. Nanocomposites are classified into polymer-inorganic, metal-ceramic matrix, and metal oxide types which find applications in areas like drug delivery and catalysis.

    NANOCOMPOSITES

    1
    Composite

    Combination of two or more different materials that are mixed in an effort


    to blend the best properties of both.

    Nanocomposite

    Multi-phase solid materials which contain at least one phase in


    nanometer range (1-100 nm)

    Achievement of multi-functional properties


    Optical
    Magnetic 2
    Thermal
    Catalytic, etc.
    General characteristics of a nanocomposite

    A nanocomposite consists of one or more discontinuous phases


    distributed in a continuous phase.

    Continuous Phase – Matrix

    Discontinuous phase – Reinforcement / Reinforcing material

    Posses potential applications in


    targeting drug delivery,
    high density magnetic recording,
    separation techniques,
    catalysis,
    environmental remediation, etc. 3
    Classification of Nanocomposites

    Polymer-Inorganic Nanocomposites

    e.g. Ag-poly(vinyl alcohol), CdS-Poly(styrene)

    Metal-Ceramic matrix Nanocomposites

    e.g. Ni-Al2O3, TiC-Ni

    Metal oxide based multi-functional Nanocomposites

    e.g. Au-TiO2, Ag-Fe2O3, Au-ZnO, ZnO-SiO2, NiO-ZnO

    Alloy based Nanocomposites

    e.g. FeNi-Al2O3, PtAu-MnO2

    Polymer Nanocomposites

    ▪Increase in the electrical break down strength of polymers

    ▪Improved thermal, chemical and mechanical stability of inorganic nanoparticles.

    CdS-poly(styrene)
    Ag-poly(vinyl alcohol)
    Metal-Ceramic Nanocomposites
    Metal nanoparticles such as aluminium, chromium, magnesium,
    molybdenum, nickel, tungsten, etc are dispersed in a ceramic matrix,
    e.g. Al2O3, AlN, SiC, TiC, and Si3N4

    •Increased thermal shock resistance

    •Strong fracture toughness

    Ni-Al2O3 TiC-Ni
    Metal oxide based multi-functional Nanocomposites

    Multi-functional properties -
    e.g. silver nanoparticles show good optical properties and antibacterial
    activity while iron oxide nanoparticles exhibit interesting magnetic
    properties like superparamagnetism. By combining these two
    nanoparticles in a nanocomposite, the materials can show interesting
    bi-functional properties like magneto-optical behavior.

    degradation of organic pollutants
    14
    Importance of Core-Shell Nanoparticles

    •The core-shell nanoparticles are highly functional materials.

    •Because of shell coating, the properties of core material, such as reactivity decrease,
    thermal stability may increase, and thus the stability and dispersibility of
    core material increases.

    e.g. oxidation stability of metal core is increased.

    • Surface chemistry of the core material can be modified for applications.

    e.g. bio compatible layer (e.g. silica, dextran) used as shell materials for
    magnetic nanoparticles for drug delivery, hyperthermia,
    and MRI applications
