Abstract

Nanocomposites are a promising class of hybrid materials that exhibit combinations of special property and possibilities of unique design. It may be of either metal-polymer, metal-metal oxide, metal-ceramic, ceramic-polymer, or mixtures of polymers with exceptional functional properties. Nanocomposite powders and coatings are used in various fields such as hard coatings, biomedical coatings and implants, sensors, aircraft manufacturing, and so on. In nanocomposite coatings, different materials are homogenously embedded with each other in a nanometer scale. This chapter deals about the nanocomposite coating, methods to produce nanocomposite coatings, their possible application in environmental monitoring, and remediation especially in air quality monitoring and water quality monitoring.
