nanomaterialenhanced
Nanomaterial-enhanced materials are those whose properties are improved by incorporating nanoscale components into a bulk matrix or onto a surface. Nanoscale additives exploit high surface area, interfacial interactions, and size-dependent properties to modify mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, or chemical behavior.
Common nanomaterials include carbon nanotubes and graphene for strength and conductivity; metal and metal oxide nanoparticles
Enhancements can include higher strength and toughness, greater stiffness, improved thermal or electrical conductivity, better gas
Challenges involve achieving uniform dispersion to prevent agglomeration, ensuring compatibility with the host, processing at scale,
