Indian experts use fiberglass and reinforced plastics for multifarious applications. Still
research is done by them to achieve innovation in Nano composites with attractive
properties for defense needs.
Knowledge on Nano Technology was made aware of in India only 2001.
We are far behind countries like Japan, USA, Europe, and Taiwan in the field of research based
on Nano Composite to enhance the material properties.
The Indian scientists have shown interest to manage the Nano structures by new synthetic
methods. They have realized that properties of Nano composite materials are based not only on
the properties of their individual parent materials but also on their morphology and interfacial
nature.
Utilizing suitable fabrication processes and controlled Nano-sized second phased dispersion,
they were capable of improving the toughness, flexural strength, thermal stability and obviously
possess betterment in Nano-dispersion.
At low cost they could produce Nano composite materials to be used for medical field,
automobile parts, electronic goods and defence. They have Nano fillers dispersed in the matrix.
The Nano- composite materials ranges as follows:
1)3 dimensional metal matrix
2) Dimensional lamellar composites
4) Nano wires of single dimension.
5) Zero dimensional core-shell.

is done by them to achieve innovation in Nano composites with attractive properties for defense
needs.
