Preface

Recently, material structures at the nanometric scale have had an influence on functional abilities in all fields of interest, especially in medical, aircraft, spacecraft, and structural properties fields. The adoption of nanocomposite materials by the research community in real-time applications is increasing rapidly in the world. Because of this, this book focuses on a number of recent contributions by several authors, which address the latest develop‐ ments in nanocomposite material development, various synthesis routes, methods of charac‐ terization, several properties correlations, and applications. This book will help all academicians, research scholars, and those working in industries towards the designing of new nanomaterials, by investigating their output, exploring their utilizations, emphasizing
