95. Nanocomposites

Nanotechnology or, for short, nanotech,
refers to a field of applied science whose
theme is the control of matter on an atomic
or molecular scale.

96. 
Generally nanotechnology deals with
structures 100 nanometers or smaller, and
involves developing materials or devices
within that size.

97. 
Nanocomposites are materials that are
created by introducing nanoparticulates
(often referred to as filler) into a
macroscopic sample material (often referred
to as the matrix).

98. 
After adding nanoparticulates to the matrix
material, the resulting nanocomposite may
exhibit drastically enhanced properties. For
example, adding carbon nanotubes tends to
drastically add to the electrical and thermal
conductivity.

99. 
Other kinds of nanoparticulates may result
in enhanced optical properties, dielectric or
mechanical properties such as stiffness and
strenght.
