ABSTRACT
Nanocomposite materials can be aptly defined as a large variety of systems such as one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and amorphous materials, made of distinctly dissimilar components and mixed at the nanometer scale [1]. For recent developments in nanocomposite technology and market trends, the reader is referred to https://www.omnexus.com/resources/rdhighlights.aspx?t=Nanocomposites
Typically, nanocomposite materials are developed by combining an inorganic and an organic phase to leverage the benefits of both worlds. Conventionally, the inorganic phase provides the nanoparticles where one of the dimensions of the particles is less than 100 nm. The nanoparticles can be of any morphology, such as spherical, acicular or fibrous, lamellar or irregular in shape. Although the applications of these nanocomposites have
been quite widespread and used over an extended period of time, in this chapter we focus mainly on the imaging and display industry.
