properties. The progress in nanocomposites is varied and covers many industries. Nanocom‐ posites with a variety of enhanced physical, thermal and other unique properties can be manufactured. They have properties that are superior to conventional microscale composites and can be synthesized using simple and inexpensive techniques. Theoretical aspects and mechanisms related to the electrodeposition process of nanocomposite films, from aqueous solutions, were discussed. The three types of matrix (metal, ceramic, polymers) nanocompo‐ sites were presented, underlining the needs for these materials and some recent results on structure, properties and potential applications.
