Nanocomposites are multiphase or hybrid materials originating from suitable combination of one or more nanosized objects with a resin which when combined together, show markedly different properties from bulk components. Nanocomposites differ from conventional composite materials due to the exceptionally high surface to volume ratio of the nanosized objects. As a result, they often have unique physical and/or chemical properties and wide application potential in diverse areas. To obtain the best properties of the nanocomposites, it is extremely important to endow them with good processability. However, when nanosized objects, including nanoparticles or nanoplatelets, have strong interactions with resin molecules, the curing and rheological behavior of the matrix will change. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the influence of nanomaterials on the curing kinetics and chemorhology of the nanocomposites in order to optimize their processability.

In this special issue, we kindly invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that encourage the understanding of curing kinetics and chemorheology of nanocomposites.
