Question

Chemical functionalization of nanocomposites

Answer 1

The growing interests in nanomaterials and nanocomposites call for the development of processing techniques to obtain multiple functionalization nanostructures and achieve the tailoring of specific features of the nanometer size. Functional nanomaterials and nanocomposites will expand the applied range of the original material and at the same time promote the development of interdiscipline. Thus, the chemical functionalization and bottom-up assemblies of nanomaterials and subsequent applications will accelerate the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

This special issue continues to focus on chemical functionalization, self-assembly, and applications of nanomaterials and nanocomposites in 2014

Answer 2

Answer:

Functionalized graphene has been considered as one of the next-generation nanofillers for polymer nanocomposites due to its outstanding physical properties and low fabrication cost in comparison with that of carbon nanotubes
