Abstract

Integration of metal oxide-based nanomaterials into macromolecular host matrices has resulted in the fabrication of a variety of polymer nanocomposites that find a wide spectrum of applications ranging from medical sciences to industrial and technological domains. The emergence of new synthesis strategies in metal oxide-based nanostructures and polymers has further added a new dimension to the eventual properties and performances of metal oxide-polymer nanocomposites. The current pandemic scenario has emphasized in the promotion of designing antiviral materials in routine work and specialized applications. This chapter encompasses diversified aspects of metal oxide-polymer nanocomposites, including their classification, various kinds of polymers, different types of nanofillers, biomedical and industrial applications, processing techniques, and electrical, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties. An account of antiviral behavior of different metal oxide-polymer nanocomposites has also been highlighted.
