Abstract

This review briefly describes the chemistry and usage of different types of nano additives especially in thermoplastic materials. Thermoplastics are very widely used in automobile, aerospace and other industries. However, such increased usage is creating serious disposal problems due to their non-biodegradable nature.  Review discusses, various recycling technologies currently in practice. All in all, review also report the current global market scenario of nano additives consumption and their possible future applications in polymer industries & estimated/projected usage in years to come.
