Introduction to Nanoclay & Nanocomposites

Abstract

A nano-composite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material. Organically and inorganically modified nano sized minerals/particles i.e., Nanocomposites have revolutionized both agricultural and industrial sectors with various applications by physical, chemical and biological synthesis.
