APPLICATION OF NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS AND NANOFERTILIZER

In the present article “composite is a combination of two or more different materials that are mixed in an effort to blend the best properties of both.” A nanocomposite is a composite material, in which one of the components has at least one dimension that is nanoscopic in size that is around 10-9 m. Nanocomposites are high performance materials which reveal rare properties. Nanocomposites have an estimated annual growth rate of 25% and fastest demand to be in plastics and elastomers. The use of fertilizers, especially Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) are two important macronutrients responsible for the growth and yield of agricultural crops. Developing efficient fertilization practices has become more and more important due to the ever-increasing global demand for food products.
