In general, nanocomposites can be divided by their application into structural and functional ones (Gerasin et al. 2013). While the incorporation of NPs in structural nanocomposites enhances the mechanical properties processability of a polymer matrix, the desired characteristics of functional materials are based on the properties specific to NPs (such as quantum size effect in a semiconductor particle, the excitation of localized surface plasmons in metal particles, superparamagnetism of magnetic particles, etc.) combined with the properties of polymers.
