Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The emerging class of nanocomposites that integrate polymers with nanostructured porous silicon displays unparalleled properties that spring up from characteristics of each building block and their interactions. Recent research reveals their enormous potential as extremely promising materials for chemical sensors, optoelectronic devices, photovoltaics, energy storage, and numerous biomedical applications such as smart drug delivery systems, lab-on-chip devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds. In this updated chapter, these nanomaterials and their applications are discussed with emphasis on basic design guidelines and fabrication strategies.
