  Engineering Multifunctional Nanocomposites for Lightweight Structural Applications
  Author(s): Rosina Cassandra*
  
  The demand for lightweight and high-performance materials has grown significantly across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, and construction. Lightweight materials offer several advantages, including improved fuel efficiency, enhanced manoeuvrability, reduced environmental impact, and increased payload capacity. Among the diverse range of lightweight materials, nanocomposites have emerged as a promising class of materials for structural applications due to their unique combination of properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, toughness, corrosion resistance, and multifunctionality. By integrating nanoscale reinforcements into a matrix material, researchers can engineer nanocomposites with tailored properties to meet specific performance requirements for lightweight structural applications...
