Polymer-based nanocomposites as defence material
KARTIKEY SINGH RIMPA JAISWAL RAKESH KUMAR SUBHAM SINGH KAVITA AGARWAL
Nanotechnology has opened the doors for various novel defence applications, such as smart materials, novel fuel sources, energy storage devices, harder/lighter platforms and newer medical applications. Uses of composites instead of steel allow the possible assembling of lightweight aircraft, consequently reducing fuel consumption, CO$_2$ emissions and fuel costs. Because of their enhanced mechanical, electrical and thermal properties, these polymer nanocomposites and materials have been found in several defence-related areas, such as the military, automobile, electronics, food and leisure. This overview aims to provide insight into the rapidly developing capabilities of lightweight nanofiller-reinforced polymer nanocomposite materials and explore their potential uses in various defence-related applications.
