Thank you @Arun Prakash V R for your answer. Could you please give an example of 100% green polymer nanocomposite that is currently trending?

One of the very fascinating research areas for polymer nanocomposites is in the field of "Dielectric Capacitors for Energy Storage Applications". It is critical to produce high temperature stable, large energy density, tremendous breakdown strength, and least nanofillers content nanocomposites for energy storage applications. Since capacitors can store and discharge the energy in microseconds, hence it can be one of the futures for automobiles, mobile phones, and other daily use gadgets. Moreover, one of the very fascinating fields these days might be to produce a polymer, which offers least losses, and that can compete with PVDF-based polymers in terms of energy density.

Thank you Mohsin Ali Marwat for your insight

You are welcome. C. Harito.

Hi

In my view polymer nanocomposite, shape memory polymers, 100% green polymer and its related products may be in current trend.

the new trend is that they are using for waste water treatment, for removal of dyes as well as some of these nanocomposite are best way for delivery of drug and tissue engineering.

Thank you Awais Ahmad for your answer. Indeed, those are interesting topics.

We can go for PLA based natural fibrr and filler compoiste it is 100% natural. Only thing is we need to prepare poly lactic acid at cheaper and economical way.

i am also currently working on this to make bio composite and use it for waste water treatment.

Dr. @Awais Ahmad, what is the shape of the composite? Is it membrane or foam?

I think developing environmentally friendly polymer composites with good mechanical properties applicable for diverse practical industries is also in current trend; for example, cellulose nanofiber or clay nanoplatelet-reinforced polymer composites.

To be honest, from a practical engineering aspect, numerous polymer composites with fancy functions reported in many papers seem to be quite far from practicality. Actually, I am always thinking about what research is worth for the future: practical research (sometimes looks like old fashion) or fancy things (relatively easily published on high factor journal).

So, I wonder how do you think about this.

Thank you @Donghwan Ji. I think that should be a paper that assess technology readiness level of those research areas. Maybe we can collaborate to make such review in the future.

Yes, I think you are right. Just an addition with that, inorganic nanomaterials dispersion tendencies into polymer makes the nano composites an excellent packaging characteristics. In addition, inclusion of various functional groups provide different functional properties to the end product and can be applied in various packaging industries, specially to manufacture biodegradable packaging materials.
