“…Such materials provide light weight in combination with high mechanical strength and thus, they find application as structural components in for example, aircraft or automotive industry. [ 23 , 49 ] Therefore, it would be highly beneficial for composites to self‐report damages and fatigue to prevent catastrophic failure. Analogous to the rotaxane‐based molecular shuttle, [48] Das et al.…”

Hatice Mutlu, born in Bulgaria, studied Chemistry at Marmara University and Bogazici University.S ubsequently, she obtained her PhD from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in the group of M. A. R. Meier.After post-doctoral stays in the groups of J.-F. Lutz (ICS-CNRS, Strasbourg) and C. Barner-Kowollik (KIT), she currently works as asenior researcher at KIT.Her research interest spans from the synthesis of complex macromolecular architecturesand functional polymers to the development of new polymer-forming reactions and novel conjugation chemistries with aparticularfocus on the design of novel sulfur-based and self-reporting materials. Christopher Barner-Kowollik, Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Fellow, graduated in chemistry from Gçttingen University,G ermany,and joined the University of New South Wales in early 2000 rising to lead the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design in 2006 as one of its directors. He returned to Germany to the KIT in 2008, where he establishedand led aDFG-funded Centre of Excellence in soft matter synthesis. He moved to QUT in 2017 and established QUT'sSoft Matter Materials Laboratory. His research achievements have been recognized by an array of national and international awards.

“…The PEEK/hBN composites were prepared by liquid mixing and re-melting. Solution mixing is the most straightforward fabrication technique for polymer nanocomposites [37]. In this process, nanofillers are first solved in certain solvents followed by the simple mixing of polymer and nanofiller dispersions.…”

The substantial heat generation due to miniaturization and high-degree integration of electronic devices is one of the major issues to facilitate efficient thermal management in power electronics. Though epoxy-based composites have shown great interest in different applications such as laminated circuit board, electronic component encapsulations, and potting, they have low application temperature (up to 150 °C) and higher mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the heat source and heat sink. Here, poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) composites reinforced with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoplatelets have been developed by liquid mixing and re-melting method for a step change in composite materials with lower CTE and significantly improved thermal dissipation capability. The lowest achieved CTE is 2.1 µm m−1 K−1, and the highest thermal conductivity is 1.04 W m−1 K−1 in PEEK/hBN composites at 30 wt% hybrid hBN content (hBN platelets with two different sizes, i.e. 70 nm and 500 nm, taken as 1:1 weight ratio), due to the formation of thermally conductive inter-filler networks. The composites show negligible variation in K with the working temperature up to 250 °C. The developed composites also exhibit excellent electrical insulation properties; thus, they will have good potential in thermal management for power electronic applications. Graphical abstract

“…Polymer nanocomposites comprise a class of materials formed by at least finely dispersed phase with nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, or nanosheets [184][185][186]. They are superior type of tools in which the nanomaterials are spread in a polymer matrix resulting in innovative materials with unique physical and chemical properties [184,185,[187][188][189][190][191][192][193]. The polymer 12 Journal of Nanomaterials matrix can be made from a variety of polymers such as polyamides, polyethersulfone, polyurethanes, polyamic acid, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyacrylonitrile, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) among others [184,194].…”

There has been an increasing demand for the development of sensor devices with improved characteristics such as sensitivity, low cost, faster response, reliability, rapider recovery, reduced size, in situ analysis, and simple operation. Nanostructured materials have shown great potential in improving these properties for chemical and biological sensors. There are different nanostructured materials which have been used in manufacturing nanosensors which include nanoscale wires (capability of high detection sensitivity), carbon nanotubes (very high surface area and high electron conductivity), thin films, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, polymer, and biomaterials. This review provides different methods which have been used in the synthesis and fabrication of these nanostructured materials followed by an extensive review of the recent developments of metal, metal oxides, carbon nanotubes, and polymer nanostructured materials in sensor applications.
