Nanocomposites: a brief review

The Control of Cultural Heritage Microbial Deterioration

“…Interestingly, several bacteria and fungi are able to produce metabolites involved in the synthesis of various NPs. The advantages and drawbacks of using nanocomposites are reported in a recent review by Omanović-Mikličanin [ 29 ].…”

Nanotechnology in dentistry: Present and future perspectives on dental nanomaterials

“…The main claimed advantages of nanocomposites over other composite materials include a high surface/volume ratio that allows small filler size and reduced inter-particle separation, enhanced mechanical properties, high ductility without strength loss, scratch resistance, improved optical properties (light transmission depends on particle size) and improved thermal properties [ 36 ]. Especially for dental nanocomposites simplified and enhanced aesthetic properties such as high gloss and gloss stability and excellent polishability and adaptability are claimed by their manufacturers.…”

“…Disadvantages of nanocomposites may include reduced toughness and impact performance, insufficient understanding of the connection of formulation and structure-property relationship and difficult control of particle dispersion [ 36 ].…”

Editorial to the special issue on CMBEBIH 2019: biomedical engineering - share the vision

“…One is about the custom decision-support computeraided facility management informative system [3], and the other one is about collaborative RESTful cloud-based tool for management of chromatic pupillometry in a clinical trial [4]. Field of nanotechnology is addressed by three papers [5][6][7]. Omanovic-Miklicanin et al [5] give an overview of nanocomposites, Kazlagic et al present green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using apple extract and its antimicrobial properties [6], and Vranic et al [7] present the results of application of nanoparticles in ocular drug delivery systems.…”
