Abstract

Environmental and energy sustainability are today in the avenues of scientific ingenuity and regeneration. The world and the human civilization today stands in the middle of deep environmental crisis. Drinking water scarcity and air and water pollution in industrialized as well as developing nations around the world are challenging the vast scientific fabric. Composite science, material science, and nanotechnology are the marvels of science and engineering today. Nanocomposites are the materials of today’s scientific rejuvenation. Green sustainability and green engineering are the utmost needs of mankind today. In the similar vein green chemistry is leading scientists and engineers toward a new scientific era. Today environmental protection and environmental engineering are the areas of scientific endeavor which needs to be revamped and reorganized as civilization treads forward. In this chapter the authors discusses with scientific vision and deep scientific provenance the recent advances and the recent challenges in the field of composite science and sustainable development. Today sustainability is merged with nanotechnology. In the similar manner sustainable development is integrated with nanotechnology and smart materials. This well-researched treatise will go a long way in the true unraveling of scientific intricacies and the scientific profundity in the field of nanocomposites application in human scientific progress and civilization. The upshot and the challenge of this chapter is to delineate the success of application of nanocomposites in furtherance of the science of environmental and energy sustainability. The challenges and the scientific imagination are immense and path breaking in today’s world of nanocomposites. This chapter is a veritable eye-opener toward the success and applicability of nanocomposites in human progress.
