Abstract

This chapter introduces the basic concept of nanocomposite materials. It starts by presenting a high-level functional classification of smart nanocomposites, with a brief description of an array of widely used organic and inorganic anticorrosive nanomeric matrices and reinforcement materials. To lay a suitable foundation on the subject, detailed discussions on the synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of nanocomposites are included. Special emphasis is given to discussions on the formulation and utilization of nanocomposite coatings and solutions for metallic corrosion protection. The chapter closes with a brief discussion on the future trends and opportunities for improving the anticorrosion property, performance, and applications of nanocomposites.
