Abstract
Nanocomposites have attracted substantial attention since the first reports in the 1980s. Nanofillers with at least one dimension below 100 nm, including spheres, tubes/rods/wires, and plates, have been included in polymeric matrices at relatively low concentrations (under 5% by volume), leading to profound improvements in the polymer's properties.
