Dear Colleagues,

During the last decade, nanotechnology has been one of the most fascinating disciplines for researchers. Since then, there have been numerous advancements in the science of nanotechnology.

Lately, the creation of smart composites at the micro- and nanoscale has accelerated in a variety of industries, including engineering, packaging, biology, and infrastructure (automotive, aerospace, and marine). Also, the use of fibers/particles in nano composites has gained greater attention and is anticipated to have a big impact on the agricultural, social, economic, and environmental fields as well. It has been demonstrated that adding reinforcement with nano fibers/particles enhances performance and makes composites more sustainable. As a result, natural fibers/particulate has been given a significant share in the selection of nano composite materials.

An effort has been made in this issue to emphasize the nano-composites research that has been done. It tries to give a broad overview of the advancements made thus far and the options for the future. It will give a thorough explanation of nano fibers, particles, and nano-composites and could point researchers in the direction of particular application areas.
