Abstract. Nanosized particles have attractive characteristics, which have received considerable attention in the last decade. Polymeric nanoparticles (PNP)s are solid particles or particulate dispersions with size in the range of 10-1000 nm. Due to the very small size, the surface area is very large so the percentage of atoms or molecules on the surface is significantly increased, which is expected to have extensive applications in various fields such as drug delivery systems, biosensors, catalysts, nanocomposites, agriculture and environment. The aim of the present paper is to critically review enhancement in the field of synthesis and different application of novel PNPs in various area from drug delivery to composite fabrication. Literature sources were mainly taken from the publications of 2011 and later; though, for a basic depiction of the structural principles, older publications have also been cited.

A series of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) grafted by chitosan nanocomposite (NC) films were prepared by a direct blending process and solution casting method. In this study, we modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes with glucose (MWCNT–Gl) for this purpose, and the effects of MWCNT–Gl on the structural, mechanical, and thermal properties of chitosan films with different contents of MWCNT–Gl were investigated. The structure, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of the composite were examined by X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and mechanical testing. The results indicate that the MWCNTs treated by glucose were dispersed well in the chitosan matrix, and the tensile properties of the NC films were improved greatly compared with neat chitosan. Also, with increasing MWCNT–Gl content, the crystalline nature of chitosan decreased. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 42022.

“…Their applications range from energy and gas storage devices [3], sensors [4], field emission devices [5], electronic components [6], to a wide variety of biomedical applications, for instance photo-thermal therapy, gene delivery systems and drugdelivery carriers [7]. CNTs are considered as an outstanding reinforcements for high-performance and multifunctional polymer nanocomposites (NC)s [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The introduction of CNTs as a structure element in NCs should develop the material properties and thus a large range of applications; such as field emitters, devices in nanoelectronics or reinforcing materials are conceivable [15].…”

Nanocomposites based on chiral poly(ester-imide) (PEI) and different weight percentages of modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by solution mixing method. Carboxylated-MWCNTs were functionalized with riboflavin by an efficient, fast and simple strategy under microwave irradiation to improve interfacial interactions and dispersion of CNTs in a PEI matrix. The products were characterized for assessing the spectroscopic, thermal and morphological properties by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The TGA results of the obtained nanocomposites proved the enhancement in the thermal stability with an increase in the percentage of functionalized MWCNTs. Microscopic observations showed well-dispersed morphologies and efficient interaction between the functionalized MWCNTs and the polymer matrix.
