195Pt and 15N n.m.r, spectra for aqueous solutions of the anti-cancer drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) and its hydrolysis and oligomerization products are reported. In the blood substituteHanks medium, conversion of cis-[Pt(15NH3)2(H20)2](NO3)2 into cis[PtCl2(15NH3)2], cis-[PtCl(H20)(15NH3)2]+,[Pt(15NH3)2OH]33+ and [Pt(15NH3)2OH]22+ has been observed, the reaction taking several hours at 30�C. In 0.15 M sodium chloride, both [Pt(NH3)2OH]33+ and[Pt(NH3)2OH]22+ are converted overnight into cis-[PtCl(H2O)(NH3)2]+. The infrared bands at 546 and 522 cm-1 in [Pt(NH3)2OH]2SO4 and at 520 cm-1 in [Pt(NH3)2OH]2(SO4)3 have been reassigned to Pt-N modes.

Nanocomposites are substances that incorporate nanoparticles (0.5-5% by weight) into a matrix of standard material, which enhances the mechanical strength, toughness including thermal or electrical conductivity and other properties. Nanocomposites are versatile in terms of their applications such as anti-corrosive, healing of bones, sensors, environmental protection, packaging, wastewater treatment, and diagnosis of tumors and other diverse uses. They may be fabricated by blending nanofillers with a polymer to produce a composite. The current trend of processing is by polymerizing monomers. Nanocomposites serve as sustainable solutions to curb global issues. Evaluation is performed on properties such as mechanical, thermal, dispersion, and toxicological. Some marketed products of nanocomposites include In Mat (coating), FiltekZ350 XT by 3M (tooth fillers), chitosan/organic rectorite nanocomposite films (bactericidal activity), graphene oxide/Carboxymethylcellulose (targeted drug delivery of anti-cancer drug doxorubicin), MD1 Flex, Nano Clean MD1, Plactive TM (Antimicrobial nanocomposites) and NovaProTM(Tooth fillers). This article discusses about Nanocomposites–their types, preparation methods, recent research and applications.
