Nanopolymers Types, Classification, Properties, and Uses

Abstract

Dr. Abdelsalam Abuzreda

Nanopolymers have come to play an essential and holistic role in everyday life due to their unique properties, They are essential materials in everyday industrial sectors, such as adhesives, building materials, paper, apparel, fibers, plastics, ceramics, concrete, liquid crystals, photoresists, and coatings. Nanopolymers are also present in most soil components, plants, and living organisms. They are important in nutrition, mechanical engineering, the structure of organisms, medi- cine, computers, space exploration, health, and the environment. The word plastic or elastomers is used incorrectly to refer to Nanopolymers, while Nanopolymers include a huge variety of synthetic and natural materials with varying properties. Natural inorganic Nanopolymers include diamond, graphite, sand, asbestos, garnet, flint, feldspar (aluminosilicate), mica, quartz, and talc. Natural organic Nanopolymers include polysaccharides such as starch, cellulose, amino acids, and pro- teins. Inorganic synthetic Nanopolymers include boron nitride, concretes, many high-temperature superconductors, and many glassware. Siloxanes or polysiloxanes are organometallic synthetic Nanopolymers.
