Conclusion
The devices that use the properties of low dimensional objects such as nanoparticles are promising due to the possibility of tailoring a number of electrophysical, optical and magnetic properties changing the size of nanoparticles, which can be controlled during the synthesis. In the case of polymer nanocomposites we can use the properties of disordered systems. Here recent developments in the field of polymer nano-composites and some of their applications have been reviewed. Though there is much use in this field, there are many limitations also. For example in the release of drugs using nanofibres, cannot be controlled independently and a burst release is usually the case, whereas a more linear release is required. Let us now consider future aspects in this field.
There is a possibility of building ordered arrays of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. A number of possibilities also exist to manufacture the nanocomposite circuit boards. An even more attractive method exists to use polymer nanocomposites for neural networks applications. Another promising area of development is optoelectronics and optical computing. The single domain nature and super paramagnetic behavior of nanoparticles containing ferromagnetic metals could be possibly used for magneto-optical storage media manufacturing.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:
“Human affairs are so obscure and various that nothing can be clearly known. This was the sound conclusion of the Academic sceptics, who were the least surly of philosophers.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (1469–1536)
“I’ve heard the wolves scuffle, and said: So this
Is man; so what better conclusion is there
The day will not follow night, and the heart
Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
Than a wolf’s....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
