Abstract:The increasing demand for greener and biodegradable materials leading to the satisfaction of society requires a compelling towards the advancement of nano-materials science. The polymeric matrix materials with suitable and proper filler, better filler/matrix interaction together with advanced and new methods or approaches are able to develop polymeric composites which shows great prospective applications in constructions and buildings, automotive, aerospace and packaging industries. The biodegradability of the natural fibers is considered as the most important and interesting aspects of their utilization in polymeric materials. Nanocomposite shows considerable applications in different fields because of larger surface area, and greater aspect ratio, with fascinating properties. Being environmentally friendly, applications of nanocomposites offer new technology and business opportunities for several sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and biotechnology industries. Hybrid bio-based composites that exploit the synergy between natural fibers in a nano-reinforced bio-based polymer can lead to improved properties along with maintaining environmental appeal. This review article intended to present information about diverse classes of natural fibers, nanofiller, cellulosic fiber based composite, nanocomposite, and natural fiber/nanofiller-based hybrid composite with specific concern to their applications. It will also provide summary of the emerging new OPEN ACCESSPolymers 2014, 6 2248 aspects of nanotechnology for development of hybrid composites for the sustainable and greener environment.

“…In the automotive industry nanotechnology applications are manifold vision of nano in cars reach from contribution for body up to a mood-depending choice of color and a self-forming car body. Furthermore, volume effects like diffusion, adsorption and mechanical strength and surface effects like adsorption, hardness and catalytic reaction might be tailored by the usage of nanocomposites or nanostructures (Presting and Konig, 2003). Sustainable governance of emerging technologies like nanotechnology is a demanding societal challenge.…”

There are about 70% people living in cities in the world, however, urbanization in cities is still in progress. Urban development brings us economic benefits but also results in environmental pollutions. Steps taken to environmental sustainability can lead to the preservation of natural resources while welfare, economic and social dimensions are considered. There are lots of ways to reach sustainability, one of which is through abatement of air pollution which in turn would have direct and indirect impacts on environmental, economic and sociopolitical sustainability. This review outlines the issues concerned in air mitigation such as the use of renewable energies, the role of green lands and sustainable transportation as keys for sustainable development.

“…With respect to 2, weight reduction and reduced aerodynamic resistance [5] have been instrumental in achieving the 30% reduction in fuel consumption of the new Volkswagen Lupo 3L TDI. As material development continues at an alarming rate and evermore new alloys [6], composites and nano-engineered structures are developed and embraced by the automotive sector [7], it is expected that the trend will continue. Techniques for improving fuel economy [4].…”

Nature produces some complex nanocomposite structures having the following properties, self-healing capability, functional gradation and smartness. These properties are all required of tribofilms in the field of lubrication technology where their structure, formation and removal rate and smartness are key to their ability to maintain fuel economy and durability. In this paper the potential for using biomimetic principles in the field of tribology and specifically as a means of improving tribological performance in the boundary lubrication regime is investigated. The paper initially describes the challenges associated with operating tribological contacts in the boundary lubrication regime, assesses the need for new approaches to lubrication and gives a preliminary appraisal of biomimetic principles applied to this engineering problem.
