Taking into consideration the latest advances in both ceramic and polymer fields, a new generation of high-performance polymer composites based on the state-of-the-art MXene (Ti3C2(OH)2) ceramics and one of the leading high-performance thermosets, namely the phthalonitrile resins, is presented. The synergistic combination between the two phases led to nanocomposites exhibiting an outstanding thermal stability with starting decomposition temperatures not less than 484°C for 3 wt% of nanoloading. The tensile properties were as high as those obtained with fiber-reinforced polymer composites. For instance, the tensile strength reached its highest value of 276 MPa for the maximum loading of 3 wt%. The morphological studies carried out by scanning and transmission electron microscopies corroborated the improvements of the thermal and mechanical properties. Undoubtfully, such materials expected to be used in extreme conditions can be seen as the next generation of ceramics-reinforced polymer composites.

The advancement of nanotechnology has opened a new opportunity to develop nanocomposites using nanocellulose (NC) and nanoclay (NCl). Researchers have regarded these nanocomposites as promising substitutes for conventional polymers because of their characteristic and useful features, which include exceptional strength and stiffness, low weight, and low environmental impact. These features of NC and NCl explain their multifarious applications across many sectors. Here we review NC and NCl as well as various reinforced polymer composites that are made up of either of the two nanomaterials. The structural and physicochemical properties of NC and NCl are highlighted, along with the mechanical behavior and thermal properties of NC. Current nanomaterial hybrid biopolymers for the production of novel high-performance polymer nanocomposites are also discussed with respect to their mechanical properties.

: Graphene as a nanofiller has gained tremendous importance in polymer nanocomposites for many applications. The attractive properties of graphene related to mechanical, electrical, and thermal domains pose a lucrative means of reinforcing the polymers to obtain the needed properties. The rise in the use of polymers supports this trend and urges the researchers to excavate the hidden plethora of nanocomposite materials for multifunctional applications. In this review, an overview is provided on graphene-based materials which have been used extensively in various fields, such as batteries, aerospace, automobile and biomedical fields. An increasing trend of graphene usage by many researchers as a nanofiller in polymer composites, its types, processing methods are highlighted with suitable applications to assimilate the updates in the development of graphene nanocomposites.
