Abstract

Nanocomposite is a solid material where one of the stages has one, a couple of components under 100 nanometer or structure having nano-scale repeat isolates between the qualification arranges that make upto a material. This audit talks about the items, applications and mechanical improvements in polymer, earthenware and metal nano- composites. It is indicated that polymer nanocomposites and the materials utilized in their creation are industrially accessible and discovering applications in a few enterprises, including car, military and nourishment, due to their improved mechanical, electrical and warm properties. Fired and metallic nanocomposites are at a prior phase of advancement and a basic issue to determine is upgrading the scattering of nanomaterial in the networks.

Keywords
