Description
Summary:Recent developments in the materials science field have highlighted the need for further composite materials study, especially with regard to bio and nano-composites, as their abilities to meet modern requirements with regard to facilitating technological advancement is far greater than those of monolithic materials. There are several advantages to nano and bio-composites as compared to conventional materials, including properties such as fatigue resistance, impact resistance, stiffness, corrosion resistance, biodegradability, thermal conductivity, low relative density, environmentally friendly waste stages, and high specific strength. Recent years have seen the discovery of several new high-performing composite materials, and improvements in the fields of aviation, automobile, adhesion, building, and electronic engineering also support the adoption of more general utilisation of nano and bio-composites in a much wider range of applications than those for which they were originally designed. This paper thus highlights and reviews information on bio- and nano-composite materials to determine current trends in how these materials are used in the various fields of engineering in numerous applications, and to examine the role of nanotechnology in the enhancement of composite properties.
