Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the principles governing the structure, synthesis, and application of polymer nanocomposites. The incorporation of nanofillers into polymer matrices offers the potential to manipulate and optimize material properties such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, electrical conductivity, optical transparency, and more. This level of control over material characteristics has spurred research efforts to tailor nanocomposites for specific requirements in diverse sectors, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, healthcare, and beyond.
The multidisciplinary nature of polymer nanocomposite research is underscored by collaborations between materials scientists, chemists, physicists, engineers, and biologists. The understanding of nanocomposite behaviour at different length scales, from atomic and molecular interactions to macroscopic properties, has led to the design of materials with tailored functionalities. This journal will provide a dedicated platform for the publication of research articles, reviews, and perspectives; the journal facilitates knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers working on various aspects of polymer nanocomposites.
Researchers in the domains of chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering, as well as those focusing on applications of different polymer nanocomposite materials from an engineering perspective, are all welcome to submit their work.
