ABSTRACT
The term polymer nanocomposites pertains to the synthesis, characterization, and applications of polymeric materials with at least one or more dimensions less than 100 nm. Materials made with dimensions on the nanoscale offer unique and different properties compared to those in the macro scale developed with conventional technology. The ™eld holds a lot of promise not only to the practitioner of the technology but also for inventors and scientists. The bene™ts to miniaturization, as realized in the microprocessor and microelectronics industry as a result or as part of the computer revolution, are being tapped into by the emergence of nanotechnology.
