Abstract
Depending upon nanotechnology and nanomaterials, nanoproducts have created a rapidly growing consumer markets. As per current database, approximately 4400 nanoproducts are available in global markets, and major nanoproducts are being made from various metals like Ag, Ti, Zn, and Au; metal oxides such as TiO2, ZnO, and Fe2O3; carbonaceous materials; polymers; and silica in their nanoscale dimension (1–100 nm). Among these, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fullerenes, and graphene-based nanomaterials are found to be advantageous in their functional properties including electrical conductivity and mechanical and thermal stability. Graphene is one of the promising materials for making nanocomposites suitable for manufacturing various nanoproducts toward different applications. An up-to-date information on graphene-based nanoproducts for applications in different fields is scatterly available in literature but not in a single report which is certainly needed to realize their advancements at a glance. Hence, this chapter mainly covers synthetic strategies, properties, and applications of graphene nanocomposite-based nanoproducts with an emphasis on bio-nanoproducts, sustainable nanoproducts, electronic nanodevices, sensors, optical nanodevices, and the nanoproducts for environmental remediation. Finally, the present challenges and future prospect of the nanoproducts are discussed briefly.
