Nanocomposites and their Applications

Polysaccharide-based nanocomposites and their applications.

Polysaccharide nanocomposites have become increasingly important materials over the past decade. Polysaccharides offer a green alternative to synthetic polymers in the preparation of soft nanomaterials. They have also been used in composites with hard nanomaterials, such as metal nanoparticles and carbon-based nanomaterials. This mini review describes methods for polysaccharide nanocomposite pr...

Polymer Nanocomposites and their Applications in Electronics Industry

There is a lot of thrill in a new area of research called Nanotechnology. The term nanotechnology describes a range of the technologies performed on a nanometer scale with widespread applications. Lot of research has been going on in finding nanomaterials. An area of research under this field is Nanocomposites. They are material made by mixing of two different materials (with different properti...

Magentotactic bacteria and their applications

Magentotactic bacteria are the types of bacteria capable of orientation in an external magnetic field because of the ability to produce structures called magnetosomes. Magnetosomes, nanometer-scale structures, are present in most of the magnetotactice bacteria. They are intracellular organelles composed of magnetic iron mineral crystals individually surrounded by a phospholipid layer. Because o...
