Preface
With the advent of nanoscience and nanotechnology, the dream of scientists to
engineer new functional bining the best specific properties anic
and anic materials is closer to reality. The traditional targeted application has
been the reinforcement of plastics with the addition of anic fillers. Accelerated
research over the past two decades, as evidenced by the large bulk of literature on
mechanical properties anic–posites, focused on systems such
as clay/polymer posites, which are now exploited by the automotive
industry worldwide. Although, in the low filler loading range, clay/polymer nano-
composites can replace traditional fiber-posites, there is still a long
way to go before understanding the mechanisms of enhancement of major engi-
neering properties of polym
