Nanocarbon-based Nanocomposite in Green Engineering

Nanocarbon has emerged at the forefront of nanoscience and technology. Recently, nanocarbon-based nanocomposite has been employed in green engineering technology. Nanocarbon such as carbon nanotube, graphene, fullerene, nanodiamond, etc. is major building blocks of this technology. Polymer/nanocarbon nanocomposites possess unique electrical, mechanical, thermal, photovoltaic, and air/water pollution control features. These nanomaterial’s, thus, have green engineering potential for various sectors such as automotive/aerospace, solar/fuel cell, and environment management industries. Using appropriate green nanocomposites design may offer a path to sustainable energy and environmental advancement. Development of new high performance nanocarbon designs has been a challenging topic of research in this regard.
