Nanocomposites design

A variety of processing steps have been utilized to achieve the desired physical forms and surface properties with porous silicon. Judicious choice of their order and overall process route can assist in optimization of properties for a specific use. Further improvements in maximum surface areas and porosities are likely to come from a combination of optimized etching, drying, and passivation steps. Improvements in chemical and mechanical stability are anticipated from optimized passivation and nanocomposite design, respectively. Improvements in control over particle size and shape dispersion are desired, but the feedstocks need to be inexpensive and the processing routes need to be scalable for maximum benefit. Some of the secondary processing techniques developed with other highly porous materials (see, e.g.. Wen et al. 2001, Hollister 2005, Conde et al. 2006, Studart et al. 2006) are likely to be utilized in the future.

Nanocomposites combined with osteoconductive, osteoinductive factors, and/or osteogenic cells have gained much interest as a new and versatile class of biomaterial suitable for next-generation biomimetic scaffolds. The experimental examples summarized in this chapter represent some of the developments of nanocomposites designed for bone-tissue regeneration. However, further substantial research efforts are required to address some major key challenges.

In spite of these limitations, use of 3D-TEM will dramatically increase in rubber science and technology. It is affording so valuable an information which is vital to the design of nanocomposites, including tires, that 3D-TEM is finding an ever-increasing usage in rubber industries. 

In recent years, the interest toward nanocomposites has been intensified in response to increased efforts in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Although materials with the nanoscale-size fillers have been produced in mbber industry for many years, current design of novel nanocomposites,...
