  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polymeric and Natural Composites

Part of the book series: Advances in Material Research and Technology ((AMRT))

Abstract

The technological need for novel and intelligent materials as well as the drive for basic understanding has led to noteworthy progress in the field of polymer science. The current interest in polymer matrix-based nanocomposites (NCs) has materialized mainly due to research including exfoliated clay, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofillers, graphene, nanocrystalline metals, and a host of additional nanoscale inorganic fillers. This chapter presents a comprehensive survey of the existing and current literature on different aspects of CNTs, their NCs with polymeric materials and their biomedical applications. This chapter also highlights a variety of methods used to produce CNTs polymer nanocomposites, along with their characterization techniques. Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) based on CNTs offer remarkably improved mechanical, electrical, and sensing properties. All this justifies the emergent interest in both academia and industrial development. Likewise, the present status and upcoming possibilities of CNT/PNCs are examined in general along with appropriate examples drawn from existing literature.
