Polymer composites and semiconductor nanoparticles have attracted much attention during the last decade. The combination of semiconductor nanoparticles with optical polymers yields a new class of materials that show both transparency and fluorescence characteristics. Nanocomposites of organic and inorganic semiconductors dispersed in polymer matrices are multifunctional materials often used as elements in nonlinear optical devices for the development of renewable energy systems. Magnetic nanocomposites are an emerging group of materials that offer exciting perspectives because of their inherent properties. Research in nano-magnetism is primarily motivated by numerous applications in the field of medicine and health care, such as drug delivery, in vitro and in vivo diagnostics, separations, actuation, coatings, catalysis, and the production of improved biocompatible materials. Magnetic Nanoparticles and Polymer Nanocomposites: Fundamentals and Applications focuses on the manufacturing and design of innovative magnetic polymeric nanocomposite materials for a broad range of different applications. These materials have truly outstanding and sustainable properties unlike other composites, because they are combined with organic materials (polymer matrix) and inorganic (semiconductor nanoparticles) to form a sustainable composite material. The focus is on magnetic semiconductor and polymer nanocomposites made from bioresorbable and biocompatible polymers, modified with magnetic nanoparticles. Magnetite nanoparticles are biocompatible and do not constitute a risk to the human body. The book provides detailed knowledge on the modern research application of magnetic semiconductor and polymeric nanocomposites that have tremendous commercial value. These nanocomposite materials are also a good source for the renewable energy-based industry too. It will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, postgraduate students and engineers working in nanocomposite materials.
