With advancements in polymer sciences, the innovation of two-dimensional
nanomaterial-based polymer nanocomposites has come to light. These are a
blend of nanoscale materials and polymers that give rise to advanced
mechanical, morphological, electrical, and structural properties.
Generally, two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as nanofilms, nanosheets,
nanoribbons, nanofillers, and carbon nanotubes, are fabricated with a
wide range of organic, inorganic, and metal polymers to acquire
desirable properties. The chemistry of these nanomaterial-based
nanocomposites shows that even a small amount of nanomaterial in the
polymer matrix can result in enhanced material properties. The
dielectric, conductive and energy storage properties of these materials
are also of significant importance. These nanomaterial-based polymer
nanocomposites are next-generation materials that will be highly
utilized for different purposes. The blend of existing polymers and
advanced 2d nanocomposites has proven expeditious solutions to many
problems in the world. This review provides details about the
mechanical, morphological, and electric properties of two-dimensional
nanomaterial-based polymer nanocomposites and their respective
characterization techniques.
The concept of green hydrogels in forensics is a budding area where it encompasses the concept of sustainable investigation. Motivated by the need to prepare for the next generation advanced materials for implementing proactive forensic science strategy. The work conception, already successful in a few fields, aimed at implementing the sophisticated criminal's way of thinking, predicting their next move so that the crime‐fighting authorities can be one step ahead of them and take precautionary actions. The existing problems of current society need to be solved by deliberate efforts of researchers and forensic experts, as we can formulate strategy of design, production, and characterization of innovative polymeric materials for on spot detection of traces. Various innovative materials have been explored with the help of green chemistry. Fingerprinted products that are unique in their compilation are made in forensics by utilizing the concept of green chemistry. The creation of nontoxic hydrogels by utilizing green polymers that are biodegradable, biocompatible, and bio renewable is one such field that helps in forensic applications. The distinctive properties of hydrogels make them suitable for various forensic investigations. In this review article, we have focused on the unique sparked properties of these smart gels and opened a gateway in solving various unsolved mysteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
