Nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material with one, two, or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm) and nanoscale repeat distances between the various phases that make up the material. The unique thermal characteristics of graphene have been employed in nano-composites to increase thermal stability and conductivity. Because graphene base materials have a 2D shape, they may have reduced interfacial thermal resistance and therefore higher thermal conductivity in nanocomposites. The excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics of graphene nanocomposites are expected to enhance their use as major filling agents in composites applications.In compared to traditional composites and their components, graphene composites show significant improvements in multifunctional features at modest loadings. This is the property that makes the material lighter and stronger for usage in a variety of applications, as well as increasing the physiochemical characteristics of the host matrix or substance on dispersion.
Graphene nanocomposites market comprises of polymer system like polystyrene, sulfonate, polymethyl methacrylate, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, epoxy, polyaniline, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyurethane, and polycarbonate.
The prospective uses of graphene-based nanomaterials in storage systems and the electrical industry are credited with the rise. Graphene's large surface area and electrical conductivity, porosity, mechanical and electrochemical stability, and mechanical and electrochemical stability have all led to its increasing use in energy storage devices. Its capacity to produce a robust, fire-resistant, durable, flexible, stiff, UV-resistant, and lightweight composite material will also help the sector develop in the coming years.
