Nanocomposites

Journal Title：Nanocomposites

Nanocomposites are multiphase or hybrid materials which when combined together, display markedly different properties from the bulk components. Nanocomposites differ from conventional composite materials due to the nanoscale dimensions of the filler phase and the exceptionally high surface to volume ratio of this phase. As a result they often possess unique mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical or catalytic properties which are controlled by factors such as local chemistry, mobility, morphology, or crystallinity.

In addition, nanocomposites often offer a combination of several properties, making them even more attractive as multifunctional materials for the future, with potential applications in aerospace, healthcare, energy materials, sensors and other systems.

The journal will deal with all aspects of polymeric and ceramic nanocomposites and nano-engineered composites, from nanoparticles, synthesis, morphology, structure, interfacial bonding, ageing, properties (e.g. mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, wear, barrier, flame retardancy, antifouling, sensing and drug release) and characterization, processing to potential applications.

纳米复合材料是多相或混合材料，当它们结合在一起时，会显示出与本体成分明显不同的特性。纳米复合材料与传统复合材料的不同之处在于填料相的纳米级尺寸以及该相极高的表面积与体积比。因此，它们通常具有独特的机械、热、电、光学或催化特性，这些特性受局部化学、迁移率、形态或结晶度等因素控制。

此外，纳米复合材料通常具有多种特性的组合，使其作为未来的多功能材料更具吸引力，在航空航天、医疗保健、能源材料、传感器和其他系统中具有潜在应用。

该期刊将涉及聚合物和陶瓷纳米复合材料以及纳米工程复合材料的各个方面，从纳米颗粒、合成、形态、结构、界面键合、老化、性能（例如机械、热、电、光学、磨损、阻隔、阻燃、防污、传感和药物释放）和特性、加工到潜在应用。
