Development and Prospect of Novel Functional Nanocomposites

In recent years, nanocomposite materials have been paid more attention by world- wide researchers. The functional nanopar ticles exhibiting quantum confinement effects have been uniformly incorporated into several kinds of matrices. such as silica glasses, polymers and liquids,with a strong desire to obtain obviously enhanced functional features and to improve the 'structural stability and processing ability of nanocomposites as well. Fruitful results have been achieved in the study field of the novel nanocomposite materials through the deep theoretical studies and extensive practical applications. In this paper,we will review the prospective of the development for the functional nanocomposites on the basis of some results obtained by our laboratory.
