Recent market analyses indicate a growing demand for polymer nanocomposites. This trend is fueled by declining prices of nanomaterials due to increased production levels and by the advances in addressing technical issues in the dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymer matrices. In this newsletter, emerging nanocomposite applications are presented as well as the efforts made to overcome the lack of standards and regulations for nanocomposites. Moreover, this newsletter covers recent developments in polymer nanocomposites in the following applications: Transportation, Medical devices, Electronics, Energy and Functional clothing.
