- Abstract
This document provides an introduction to the field of nanofiller-based polymer composites and their potential industrial applications. It explains how these composites are made by reinforcing polymer matrices with nanoscale fillers, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and clay minerals, to improve their mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. The document discusses different types of nanofillers, polymer matrices, and fabrication methods used in polymer composites, and highlights the advantages and challenges of using nanofillers. It also emphasizes the importance of environmental sustainability in the field. The document concludes by summarizing 10 articles published in a special issue of the journal Polymers, which cover various aspects of polymer composites and their applications. Overall, the document provides a summary and future outlook on the use of nanofillers in polymer composites, highlighting their benefits and potential applications in fields like nanomedicine and green materials. It emphasizes the need for further research and development in this area to explore novel nanofillers, advanced processing techniques, and integrated performance. The contributions presented in the special issue demonstrate the potential of nanofillers in polymer composites and their promising future in multifunctional applications.
