Preface
Composites are engineered materials that consist of two or more insoluble phases combined together: a continuous phase, known as the matrix, as well as some interdispersed components, known as the reinforcing elements. Now if at least one of the constituent phases of a composite material is less than 100 nm in size, this composite is commonly termed nanocomposite. The matrix is typically the major constituent that provides durability for the overall composite and it can be for instance, a metallic, ceramic, or polymer material. The reinforcing inclusions are on the ot
