Obtaining Ultimate Functionalities in Nanocomposites
Obtaining ultimate functionalities in nanocomposites. Composites represent a class of materials that combine two or more constituents into a form suitable for technological applications. This issue of MRS Bulletin focuses on nanoscale composites, with an emphasis on approaches to the design and control of the functionalities of nanocomposite materials. On the cover in the background is a planview transmission electron microscope image of a vertically aligned nanocomposite LaFeO3:CoFe2O4 (65:35 molar ratio) film with CoFe2O4 nanopillars embedded in a LaFeO3 matrix. The schematic drawings show the most commonly investigated architectures of nanocomposites. (Top) 1–3-type nanocomposites with pillars or nanofibers aligned in a matrix. (Middle) 0–3-type nanocomposites with nanoparticles dispersed in a matrix. (Bottom) 2–2-type nanolaminates or heterostructured thin films or superlattices. Aiping Chen took the plan-view transmission electron microscope image, and Chris Sheehan drew the schematic drawings of the composites. See the technical theme that begins on page 719.
